Violence is typically defined as physical, injurious force. I have seen no violence at Noisebridge - not even during the Scud and Chrissie soap opera.<br>
<br>
The behavior is definitely unexcellent. It is disruptive, as in interrupting or disturbing things that are going on in the space.<br>

Nope, it's most definitely a violence towards others to not speak up when Twitchy McJunkie decides to take a post-burrito nap during the physics class visit. It's also violence towards others who leave b/c we tolerate the presence of ignorant uggles with no interest in hacking or self-improvement--those who don't care when their joissance overflows into other's work space.<br>
<br>
Don't minimize the pain... I came in this morning and promptly left instead of addressing the sleeping corpses and smoking on the balcony, and I'm rather stoic about such things.<br>
Point being, it's violence either way.<br>
