[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge must police itself

I agree with Davidfine on this.  If someone is not being excellent, just get
them to leave, no fancy bells and whistles or bureaucracy necessary.  I
really felt Kayla's frustration at the whole drawn out situation ending up
with Jay still there and nothing done about it, while she was stuck with the
possible early death of her Macbook Pro.

And on a tangent, not sure what the point was of labeling problem people as
loners in the other email.  Loners generally don't bother anyone and just
want to be left alone.  Problem people usually seem to be the ones who have
a sense of entitlement, like from parents who spoiled them or from friends
who egged on their bad behavior, so if they stumble into somewhere they
automatically think they have a right to do whatever they want.  Or they
could just be drunk or on drugs and out of their mind.  In any case, if all
they're doing is making people who are productively using the space not feel
like being there, they need to be shown the door immediately, and if police
are needed to help with that, just let them in for that.

We don't need an intercom or a klaxxon, that seems absurdly
non-confrontational. Just yell for help ejecting the person and make it
happen. Open communities that don't have a means of ejecting destructive
people tend to collapse. Let that be a motivation to take an active role in
conflict.
