Tonight as I was working in the Church, I heard someone snoring. I
found that obnoxious asian guy sleeping in the DJ booth. I woke him
up and asked him to leave. In the process, I found a guy named Jason
sleeping on the couch.<br>
<br>
I don't like doing this and it got very tense because the asian guy
did NOT want to leave. Jason was cool about it. I let Jason slide on
Saturday night. I received very little support from the other users.
This is not appreciated.<br>
<br>
If I can't get support from other users for enforcing this rule,
then I won't do it. I don't like doing it and I was very respectful.
I can't say the respect was reciprocated. The word "Fight" was
mentioned.<br>
<br>
I told them to come back on Tuesday night if they wanted to appeal
my actions. It is my understanding that the Asian guy has already
been banned for making homophobic comments, but it's conjecture. <br>
<br>
I also informed Martin that any drunkness or sleeping will be
tolerated by me, no matter how much I like him. I treated him like
an adult and a friend and he was receptive. I told him that his name
may arise in the Tues. meeting. He is considering attending the
meeting or simply taking a sabbatical for a week or two. <br>
<br>
Please, if the collective wants the sleeping rule enforced then they
should support the person that enforces it. I always give people
multiple chances and need help when I draw the line.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

When I came in to set up for the Raspberry Pi event, I found
someone asleep, and did just as Ben said. It took quite a
bit prodding, and I had to remain assertive. The person wasn't
happy, but he was polite (after he finally woke up) , and
he left.<br>
<br>
It is totally fine to tell people that you don't want them
sleeping at Noisebridge. And it is totally fine to ask them to
leave if they are asleep. But, you need to do so in an
excellent way (as you remain assertive).<br>

Ah, sigh. Time to do the rounds again I guess. Who are these
people this time?<br>
