<DIV dir=ltr>My take on events that involve sex is that I should never be surprised by them. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Absolutely. I recall another time a sex group did a 5mof presentation, i noticed there was a young child in the space. The presenter did not check, or provide warnings, just launched right into it. When i realized the content, I made a point to ask the presenter: "Is this presentation child safe?". The presenter answered "no", and the parents quickly removed their child. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The presenter's fault? No-- NB needs to disseminate it's values and policies. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Same as we cannot blame people living in the space, after opening the doors wide to anyone and everyone. Roughly throwing they and their belongings out on the street after the fact, as if they are criminals who have clearly violated nb's rules is unfair, because the rules are unclear, plus the open-door policy, plus possible encouragement they might have received from a member who supports letting people crash in the space. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Before hating on squatters, NB needs to own responsiblity: clarify our rules, adjust the open-door policy, and get all members on the same page about people sleeping in the space. </DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
