== A Fictional Conversation == ;Why isn't there a list of unexcellent things? :One problem with formally defined lists of social rules is that it makes it extremely easy to game the system. People who have no desire to really cohere with a community will find ways to mistreat others that fall within the things permitted by the strict delineation. :Formal rules can't capture the entirety of how we ought to treat one another, and the nuances with which social norms are applied. :Many arguments have been made, in the world as a whole, and in Noisebridge history in particular, about why a person's nasty, problematic behavior wasn't breaking any formal rule, and why they therefore shouldn't be called out, etc. People who make such arguments tend to be bad for Noisebridge, and are often escorted out the door. ; But I've been accused of Unexcellent behavior! : Relax! It's not the worst thing in the world to be accused of! But you really should reflect on whether or not that behavior was necessary. Probably it wasn't, and if it makes other people's use of the better, why continue? There's no need to be a dick. : The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_jerk Wikimedia article] on their ''Don't Be A Jerk'' rule has some good tips. : Also, if you want to continue coming to Noisebridge, you really ought to make your peace with the community. You might be asked to leave temporarily, or permanently. Even if you think you were right, and you're actually Excellent, communal spaces like Noisebridge aren't defined by one person. ; What if the community is wrong? They suppressed Galileo, you know! : Sure, it might be, who knows! Usually you can have fun, productive conversations without being a dick, tho. It's one thing to disagree, it's another thing to be Unexcellent.
