[Noisebridge-discuss] A CALL TO NOISEBRIDGE HACKERS AND COMMUNITY AT LARGE: BANNING RAYC/ROBERT?

[Gavin Knight]

I said "We want to talk about asking you to leave the space at the next

I wanted to be perfectly clear, that it was a concern, but it is ultimately
a community decision,
but I think it's time to have a discussion. This is how I understand
consensus to work.
