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

[Robert Fletcher]

I've only had a handful of encounters with Rubin, but on the whole they have
been largely unpleasant.  I can appreciate a share of fuck-it-all attitude,
but it takes a particularly liberal interpretation of excellence to think
that more or less veiled threats of vandalism, murder and burning down
Noisebridge are in accordance with the rule.  I suppose I'd take some
vindictive pleasure in seeing him banned, but that's not to say I think it's
necessarily appropriate.  It does make me wish there was some sort of
disciplinary route we could take, though.  Maybe some sort of community
service.  Make him teach a class!
