My feeling is that it's actually okay to talk about this to the person
who came in, even if the dog wasn't misbehaving. I've asked people to
stop doing things in the space that are scary, even if I don't have a
great rational reason for it, and people have asked me to stop doing
things which freak them out (I think. I mean, nothing too freaky, just
being loud or hogging the projector or something).

Everybody in this thread should probably accept that we're not going
to ban dogs or ever accept them as full members without some heavy
social work, and their Internet outlet of annoyance will bend the arc
of history neither one way or the other on that.
