If you do not like something about what the person does and you think that it is against the ways of Noisebridge (as the sleeping in the place is), you may ask the person to leave as Al did and if you really feel strongly about the situation you can ask them to leave and/or come back to the next meeting, like I had to do by myself for example. But baning someone just by one voice is not really what I see as a Noisebridge way.<br>

</div><div> <br>>>> Good to see the softer touch but I believe you are wrong fundamentally on the ban lifting, to ban someone is a topic for the consensus and has toe be confirmed by this proces, not the other way around. Only the Noisebridge meeting body I would say has the right to ban someone for longer period of time. The grey area may be if that person who was asked to leave by a member (member of community) doesn't come to the meeting, than I personally assume that he/she should stay away, at least for a while. <br>
