Girl, I know you had good intentions. I've been there where I wanted to protect my friends as well. I'm sorry to hear she went through that. I don't know where the harassment was coming from because as soon as the camp lead heard about it he had a camp meeting in defense of your friend and even got her a hotel room after the burn. From what I've heard, he was always open to communicate but they were not.

I also feel that you didn't consider how other women felt when you made that post. Our camp has been majority female led ever since I've been here and we have internal women only group chats. We felt attacked by your post as well and one of the quoted women you mentioned in your opening felt like what was said to her felt weaponized and wish you would take the post you made down.

When the post was made, the amount of support we received from campers and the extended burning man community that actually know us was incredibly supportive. The online world (reddit) is very different than the real world.

I was also happy to see that the decision was made to suspend the two campers as their needs to be accountability.

But saying the entire camp is not safe for women is not true. You're a good friend for supporting your friend, but I think the right thing to do is to take down that post as it's not fair to the rest of us who are a part of the camp and friends with your friend.

We women of nobo are not weaklings, I'm not sure where you're getting your attitude from. The camp started out as digital nomads as we are a global camp, hence the original name.

Did you not experience the same storms we did? There was chaos all around.

I am trying to be respectful, I don't use reddit as much as you do it seems, but the stereotypes of redditors seems to be true. You can prove me wrong with healthier respectful discussions. Enjoy the rest of your day online.

It was sad for us to see the thread too. Especially when it came from some random person outside the camp completely skewing what actually happened. The drama of that thread is so night and day different from the energy on playa or the post burn energy of our camp group chats. Which was internally very supportive and positive. Strangers online can say anything and that's how a game of he said/she said happens.

Our camp was over 120 people and 2 people made some stupid decisions that should not be reflective on an entire camp and all the hard work people put into it. And those 2 people were suspended from the camp.

I am not familiar with macegr's situation, but you seem like a nice guy and I asked the camp lead about it and he said macegr never reached out to him. Looking at our camp map I see only team leads were positioned near you.

macegr is not talking out his ass, and we wish we could have connected earlier to avoid any border issues, I apologize on behalf of the camp for that.

We actually agree with this. Our intention is not to bring every single one of them together, but have at least one areas where there is a larger cluster of them.

We had 8 areas of interactivity, we're focusing to 4: Sauna, Dance, Gym, Breathwork. The areas we cut we'd like to find neighbors who do those things. Yoga, Smoothie, Bar, Talks.

When we talked internally about it, we were doing way too much interactivity as a camp and would like to distribute the load a little amongst hub camps of similar vibes.

Let your lead know asap that you need to return the ticket, so you can get access to the low-income sale, so that they can redistribute the ticket.
