Please ask him to leave.  I am not comfortable having someone who treated
Naomi with such extreme disrespect by *looking up her skirt *existing in
the space.  I do not care if he seems to be behaving fine to you as a guy
right now, his behavior is unacceptable and he cannot be at NB.

If you're an asshole when you haven't slept, it's your responsibility to
get enough sleep to *not be an asshole.*  The same is true for people who
willingly engage in substance abuse.
