Maybe I missed something, but I have no problem paying my bills. I thought it was very revealing when someone said they thought I relied on the space to make money lol. As for the quarantine wackiness narrative: I've gotten positive feedback on the Dallas Coder Night thing I've been doing online during the quarantine. I've had a great time at philosophy every week. However, I definitely get very pissed off when people use bullshit arguments, like when Andrew LeCody asserted that 500g of Crisco with some unknown amount of weed in it found in Mark Havens' home was worth $10,000. Or when the board said that not having a meeting was in accordance with the rules, which it clearly wasn't. It also pisses me off when people abuse their power, e. g. Jim, Michael, and Freddy closing the PPE thread and then all the threads where I question that decision and other abuses of power. The one exception was Jim's SOI, but in that case I got silenced for two weeks, so I was silenced a different way. I also get pissed when people antagonize me, like when Sewing Stuff kept calling me a clown and even took it into the computer committee channel on here. That one really got to me. You guys can push that narrative all you want, and it sure is an easy way to dismiss everything I'm saying, but that's all it is: a way of dismissing. It doesn't actually refute anything I've said, though you might think it explains what my mood has been like. Jim, I haven't spammed. You closed the PPE thread right after I replied to it. I got silenced after criticizing you on your SOI thread. My first post when I came back, about the abuses of power, was closed. That prompted me to try again to have an open conversation, which was met with a prompt thread closure, which prompted.. and so forth until I was banned from Talk for 6 months.

I will forgive and forget your past character assignations against me. But you need to work on your eye contact. Avoiding eye contact often communicates feelings of shame. If you are ashamed to look me in the eye, you wonโt have to be if Iโm elected. But just because I forgive and forget your past transgressions against me doesnโt mean I have no memory of your values or abilities. You will never be my first choice for any leadership role beyond a technical team lead. We need good technical team leads. And you are probably one of the top 20 team leads I know. Hell, look what you did for Dallas Makerspace. Good work during those first few years. Thank you.

I struggled learning about what to do with PR and got a lot of flack when I asked questions or tried to get involved. Regardless of if it annoyed people or not, I was new and trying.

Covid19 hits. Government shutdown hits swift. James, Julie, Ken, Brad, and Lara have full time jobs, with employers to answer to, maybe employees/clients to care for, and companies mobilizing their staff to work from home, on top of job loss fears and a whole lot of unknowns. Plus James, Julie, and Ken (I don't know about Brad and Lara) have spouses and children. Those spouses also have employers/employees/clients to keep happy, had to deal with moving work home, and had to worry/plan for job loss. They had to set up and conduct home schooling. They had kids underfoot. Ken's kids were in college, which was a whole other set of problems. Then came online work and school: were there enough devices for every family member? Heaven help you if any had little kids - couldn't just park them in front of a computer to self-learn. And like the rest of us, they had to hunt for groceries etc as inventories disappeared. And dodge the disease. And worry/plan for catching the disease. And oh yeah, those employers to keep happy, those jobs that might get laid off? They provide the health insurance. Now repeat that burden for the officers and committee chairs. DMS requires James, Julie, Ken, Lara, and Brad, plus Pearce, Jim, Doug, JJ, chairs and whoever I'm forgetting to labor for FREE. In the midst of extreme personal burdens, they shut down an industrial facility of varied equipment safely and swiftly, carried on with managing construction projects, figured out ways to deliver value to members at home, contributed DMS resources to emergency PPE efforts in ways that were safe, created a reopening plan, implemented reopening plan, are managing an open industrial facility + enforcing safety standards that some are aggressively opposing, dealt with actual death threats, and the nibbling to death by ducks that is Talk and Discord.
