[Noisebridge-discuss] [drama] Discussion item: Banning Rubin

[Glen Jarvis]

The way Rubin handled the recent situation is not the way that I would
handle it, of course. I always believe in trying to give everyone the
benefit of the doubt, see things from their point of view first, and then
respond with kindness but firmness (although I'm not always successful at
this).

Regardless, I would block banning Rubin or Aestetix from the space. And, I
do understand the consequence of what 'blocking' means from a consensus
perspective. I've never suggesting blocking before. However, I  really
believe that this is necessary in this case.  (I am also a current member
with dues paid.)

Of course, any good consensus would require discussion and I would listen
with an open mind. I doubt there will be strong enough arguments to sway me
from blocking, but I would listen first, of course.

Warmest Regards to all (Hephaestus, Rubin  and Aestetix alike),


Glen
