Discussion Notes

Tom - proposal from last week (Casey) that Scud and Chrissie are barred from Noisebridge and prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community ...  due to a pattern of problem behavior being repeated.
Jake - end of week before last, Scud and Chrissie in the bathroom for 1/2 hour, needle found in the bathroom, on top of always bumming around noisebridge not using space as intended.  They were asked to leave and not come back until meeting.  There is a general agreement at Noisebridge regarding need to respect request to leave and stay away until meeting.  Scud and Chrissie came back several times before meeting, Jake had to ask them to leave twice.  Jake found needle, Mitch disposed it.  Scud and Chrissie were lying down in shop during MF afterparty.  They took a long time to leave, trying to wear people out and make it more trouble than necessary.  They only left when Jake told them he was taking a picture for the meeting.  Jake wasn't here for last meeting to see but was bothered by reports of Chrissie being drunk, totally wasted at last meeting.  Wasting a lot of time.  Scud and Chrissie are not offering any reasons for coming here, just using space because it is convenient to ...
Belle - i work every day, i am a lawyer.  You people have not grown up
Miloh - ... objects to something, interrupting
Belle - (leaves)
Miloh - (noting Scud and Chrissie seem sober for this meeting) that is great to see ...
Chrissie - i'm okay.  i like classes, learning, so many things, would like to see nb move towards a freegeek model ...
Miloh ... but it's too late, you should find other communities
Chrissie - that story was vague
Scud - responding to Jake's recap, there were made up things
Chrissie - we would have seen needle in bathroom
Jake - the needle was not found in bathroom
Miloh - enough to be drunk - be excellent - can drink, but don't be drunk
Jake - fact that you were asked to leave for whatever reason, you fought against that, eventually left, but came back several times
Chrissie - (disputes)
Jake - you want to come here because it's convenient and you have no other place
Chrissie - i have a place in (...), you are making things up
Jake - no concern for community and what it's about
Chrissie - i like computers, you don't know me
Scud - how many times could we have shown up - it was only once, i remember, i was sober
Jake - twice before the meeting
Scud - let's go over this - what day where we asked to leave
Dan - wiki page AskedToLeave indicates Friday May 17th and then again Saturday May 18th
Scud - we only came on Saturday to talk to Mike
Tom - are there any members here who object to this concensus proposal?  No?  Okay, I think that's enough of that ... Scud and Chrissie, please leave and never come back.
