Thank you Gavin for your response and I am in complete�agreeance.<div><br></div><div>In the past I have been very verbally�aggressive and those situations have taught me to not be at all. In this situation, when I was spat on, I didn't react. Not because I had a video camera and was recording the whole thing, but because I felt that reacting violently or negatively would have not been the right thing to do.�</div>
<div><br>�I felt the same way during the meeting as I did when Justin decided spit on me. I was really upset; yet I was able to have a level of restraint to work through it and work it out. Even though I was assaulted twice (by law-would twice be �battery "California Penal Code 242 PC�<a href="http://www.shouselaw.com/battery.html">http://www.shouselaw.com/battery.html</a>�"); I am upset by his actions and don't feel comfortable around him at all.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>A battery is a serious offense is not good for as little as a background check during the application process for a job. I don't want to take Justin to court at all for this two crystal clear incidents; I am more then content with not being his friend and or associating with him at all. I didn't feel comfortable at all while we were in the space; which is why I came only right when the meeting started.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since my actions in the past are what gave me the ability to control myself, I hope that the actions of Justin's�gave him the experience to be a more respectful and thoughtful individual.�</div><div>
<br></div><div>I like to think that I have done things correctly by not responding in a negative way to this whole ordeal. I also even�surprised to find myself communicating with everybody in the meeting, by letting them know that I really needed a five minute break.�</div>

We should not have anyone at the space who has caused physical harm to a person.<br>
<br>
Words, drama, drunkeness well it's up for debate, but if you put your hands on someone,<br>
spit on someone or cause significant damage to items in the space it's intolerable.<br>
<br>
I can not tolerate violence in a space I wish to inhabit. �I'm tired of dealing with this senseless<br>
drama, but when it escalates to violence it must be removed entirely from the space.<br>
<br>
I will note that Rayc may have been overly aggressive verbally but he didn't put his hands on<br>
anyone, or spit on anyone. I would ask people in general, that if someone is drunk or out of<br>
hand not to provoke them, and force a violent confrontation.<br>
<br>
and please let's not get police involved�<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Gavin<br>
