[Noisebridge-discuss] Anyone have problems with booting out overnight sleepers in the morning?

Any point fake-Al was trying to make was lost in their totally unacceptable
ableist language, which is a blatant violation of our anti-harassment
policy:

"Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender
identity and expression, sexual orientation, *disability,* physical
appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces,
deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or
recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate
physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention."

Fake-Al probably doesn't realize that their use of terms for disabled
people as a generic insult is not okay, so consider this their gentle
warning not to do so again as whoever they choose to impersonate next.

Sincerely,
Hannah
