<div dir="ltr">Please tell these people to GTFO. Anyone may ask individuals who are not actively contributing excellence to the space to leave. It's always a good idea to get help. Find some people in the space and tell them that you are asking someone to leave, and would like help. If help is unavailable in the space, there is a list of people who are down to help on the pole with the payphone. Occasionally, there is a "docent" hanging out at the desk near the entrance. You may ask them to stop the offensive behavior, leave for the day, or leave until the next meeting, at your discretion.<div>
<br></div><div>I try to talk to people and find a resolution before the conflict gets to this point, but sometimes the banhammer is appropriate. I am available to help mediate conflicts and help with difficult situations. Many other Noisebridgers will support you too.<br>
<div><br></div><div>If nobody tells these people to go away, they will likely remain. Excellence is a high bar, you need to be doing more than breathing to meet it.</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div><br>today i came in and turing was closed up (both doors) because a being had a cat out of a cage (i have seen this cage brought to the space numerous times before with a crying cat in it) running around turing (i saw no signs of a litter box though that doesn't really matter). i found this very selfish and inconsiderate. when the doors were opened the cat was placed in its prison which initiated it crying without end.</div>
<div><br></div><div>additionally, the cage was located on top of a table adjacent to where they were working rendering it basically unavailable (at a minimum appearing occupied) to others whom may have wanted to come in and work (yes. anyone could have come in, asked, and moved it to the floor etc.. that is a given).</div>
