Adding my 2 cents.<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>I second the suggestion of 10AM to 10PM (or earlier) open
hours - 10PM to 10AM - 'members' only please. I put
'members' in quotes because we can be very liberal in what we
consider a member for these purposes.</li>
<li>We might consider a $5/visit donation requirement which we
can forget to ask of anyone who looks O.K. <br>
</li>
<li>We might consider a $2/visit donation of anyone who isn't a
true monthly paying member and solve some financial problems at
the same time.</li>
<li>We might consider a lock on the upstairs door that opens with
the same key or keypad as downstairs, but otherwise has to be
opened by someone who greets - and tells strangers to go away
after 10PM. <br>
</li>
<li>I like, "What are you here to work on?" as a filter of
people. We need an acceptable response for Free School people
like, "I'm part of the Free School." but otherwise, anyone
coming in who doesn't look right shouldn't be here without a
project.<br>
</li>
</ol>
A slightly different aspect of the problem. Say someone
unexcellent comes in..... <br>
<ol>
<li>It is only a small % of us that feel that we can ask them to
leave. We need some sort of social ok or awareness that
especially as long as this problem exists that we need to err on
the side of asking people to leave, an we all need to work as a
group on the problem when an unexcellent person comes in.<br>
</li>
<li>And it can be very difficult to get the idea across to
someone crazy, stoned, or crazy stoned that they need to leave.
Remember when we asked Salvador Dali Lama to leave - daily. <br>
</li>
</ol>
Avoiding theft means asking a suspected thief to leave, before they
have done anything wrong. This means that we must act on our 'bad
feeling about someone'. Are we all willing to do that? <br>
