Link, easy my good man. No need to get over-excited.

Ben, my bad for misreading your text.

I think there may have been some failure to adequately communicate this 
rule to new users.

I understand the desire not to have police in the space, as police are 
party-poopers. But I wonder if the original intent of this requirement 
might have been to simply /encourage /noisebridgers to resolve issues 
autonomously, rather than a strict "thou shalt not call the police for 
reasons other than threat of violence, on penalty of being banished from 
Noisebridge" edict.

Although, as you point out, i was not there.

I think the police have been called to nb on more than one non-violent 
occasion in the past 24 months, and i don't recall anyone being  removed 
from the space for it.

Now, if nb is going to invite people to leave for the crime of not 
hacking, building, making, learning, teaching, or exhibiting, that seems 
like something nobody can claim they didn't know about.

Thx
