Threats of violence and zealous defense of violence, add up to a
high risk of acts of violence. To my mind that is a cutoff point,
and attempting to mediate only prolongs a high-risk situation and
potentially makes it more emotionally charged (thus increases the
risk). <br>
<br>
This is all the more so if the threats he made, and the acts he
zealously defended, referred to any kind of weapon, other than in
self-defense against an immediate threat to one's own life or the
lives of innocent others. IMHO the best way to handle this is in a
cool and unemotional way: "nothing personal, rules is rules." <br>
<br>
Any reasonable definition of "safe space" includes that people don't
have to worry about encountering someone who may threaten them with
violence. <br>
<br>
Lastly, if you ban him, change any locks or passwords he may have
had access to. Even a key that says "do not duplicate" is not a
deterrent to someone making a copy themselves or having a corrupt
person make one for them. <br>

So I formally propose that he be banned from our space for an<br>
indefinite period. Are there any objections?<br>
