Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT: Almost hate crimed at Kelly's after VCF East
I think we can all show support and still respect the victim's choice on going to the police or not. We are not the victims, we don't know how they are feeling. We can be pragmatic and supportive. We should support them in their decision and keep being supportive in our group. If the victims decide to change their mind we should support that as well. I'm not looking to fight with anyone, just asking us to be understanding of their decision.

Totally agree. And now that this is OT, and I started all of the fuss in saying so, I still want to say how open and inclusive VCF has always been, since day 1 to everyone. The hacker ethic from Steven Levy chapter 2 point number 4: 4. "Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, sex, or position" Bill
