> If Nouns DAO is to wither away until only sycophants and extractors remain, so be it.
Insulting the DAO members is not a great way of gathering support.

> Together, we’ve built a magnificent, amazing global event that is wholesome and beautiful. It’s a celebration of all that we share here on Spaceship Earth, centered around three things accessible almost everywhere: pizza, the internet, and Bitcoin.

> In the process of attempting to bring Nouns DAO along on our third Global Pizza Party together, the PizzaDAO community has felt misunderstood, hurt, and, finally, insulted: “Beyond people getting a free meal with Nouns logos at the party, it’s hard to identify any durable, strategic benefit for the DAO.” - 0xjanedoe. Jane has used the word “respect” more freely in her writing than is appropriate for someone who has shown little. Viewing PizzaDAO's work through such a simplistic lens shows little care for the builders involved or the values that brought us together in the first place.

> When Nouns DAO launched in 2021 (months after PizzaDAO), I felt like it was the meta version of what we were building. As a copyleft maxi from a young age (I’ve been selling copyleft t-shirts since 2013, when you could first accept Bitcoin on Shopify), I thought I’d found my people. I’ve always believed in the basic goodness of humans and their desire to improve themselves and their environment. If we shared more, we could build faster, better, stronger.

> The only noun I ever considered for PizzaDAO was 292, with its WE shirt (Did you know that WE stands for Whole Earth?) and its pizza head. I worked to convince wilsoncusack.eth that I and PizzaDAO would be proper stewards of such a fine NFT (he was quite attached). He finally agreed to 40 ETH. On April 20, 2023, I paid 42 (for the memes).

> So why are we putting this prop up, despite our very negative feelings towards our fearless captors? Because it feels wrong to let the opinions of a few get in the way of the deep fellowship between the Nouns DAO and PizzaDAO communities. Web3 is a community first revolution. Real value (and real power) resides in the community, not the treasury.

> If Nouns DAO is to wither away until only sycophants and extractors remain, so be it. But PizzaDAO will not be to blame. If destroying the sandcastles we’ve built in order to save the sandbox is the chosen path, we’ll simply find another sandbox. The metaverse is vast.
