[Noisebridge-discuss] Unwelcome person at noisebridge

[Robert Fletcher]

I did say kicked out.  Three of us went over to him and told him that he was
being very disruptive and that he'd have to leave.  He said he'd be quiet
and that he was leaving soon anyway.  He stuck his head in a book and we
went back to what we were doing.  Within a few minutes he was back riffling
through boxes and making weird gestures and comments.  We got back up and
told him he had to go or we would call the cops.  After some bustling about
("I have to run to the bathroom", "Is this mine? I'm not sure if I brought
this...", "Let me check on the bottom side of this chair to see if anything
of mine is under there.") we finally convinced him that it was safe to leave
and escorted him out the front door.  Thankfully it was a peaceful
encounter, if prolonged and particularly awkward.
