[Noisebridge-discuss] On Asking People To Leave (Was Re: Shawn L. )

[jim]

    As a courtesy to the rest of us, those who are 
discussing this issue please calm down and discuss 
the issues without getting personal, please. 

    The issues seem to include 
* using a classroom: my understanding is that the events 
  section of the front page of the NB wiki sufficiently 
  notifies everyone of a claim on a NB space or other 
  resource. For years this seems an honored convention 
  that protects classes in both Turing and Church 
  classrooms. 
* how to handle cellphone calls? Myself I either use 
  the top of the stairs or the dirty shop, in which 
  noisy power tools are used (so why not phones, too). 
* needing a member. My understanding is that there is no 
  need for members per se; in the case of conflict, 
  anyone can ask anyone else to help resolve a problem 
  (most notably actual physical violence, sexually 
  driven accostments, and reckless behavior (drunks and 
  dopers). As a matter of excellence, people should be 
  willing to respond to such requests for mediation.

From my professional perspective and experience, you need to grow the fuck up, take responsibility for your own actions and the consequences thereof. Because next time I see you throwing one of your patented toddler temper tantrums in the space, I will be tossing your self-entitled ass out of the space, even if you get every member to say that it's okay if you act like a freaking four-year-old.
