My awesome friend wants to hook up the Omni/Sudo/someone with a very nice
wooden conference table. You will need to pick it up yourself from the
financial district. Let me know if you're interested or have questions and
I can pass on the contact info of my friend.

//////
i still do not know the nature of the argument. james moon left before i
could ask and eian never said during his outburst....
i heard yelling so i went upstairs to find eian moon yelling at james moon.
james moon was repeatedly sayin "just leave me alone" and eian moon was
continuing to verbally abuse him. i informed eian moon very calmly that he
had to go due to his behavior. i had to endure about 45 mins of eian moon
verbal abuse before he finally left.

My personal opinion is that James Moon should be banned. I have not
met him personally, but I have talked to a number of people who felt
unsafe during his outbursts and yelling sprees in July. He has a very
sordid history which I won't go into here, but is searchable online.
The only reason he wasn't formally banned is that he ragequit himself
and nobody expected him to return.
I have had nothing but good experiences with Eian Moon, so this
surprises me. He's helped out with the building working group - helped
me hang the big white door from La Commune to the basement. He's
participating in Becoming Omni planning process, in the "invitations"
subgroup along with Matt Senate. He's also teaching a Public School
class, which is on their calendar:

I've emailed Eian Moon and Robb, requesting to talk in person outside
of Omni. I will try to play that role. I'm not really interested in
mediating with James Moon, given everything I know about him.

Actually I stand corrected, James Moon applied to be a Sudoroom member
a couple months ago, before he went on a yelling spree that scared a
bunch of people away, and was then blocked from membership and banned.
great idea mary. we are not perfect judges & could libel someone
inadvertently. ~r

late last night, i had to ban ian moon for verbally & physically
threatening(cane) james moon with a weapon (moon vs moon, lol).
it took about 45 min. to actually get him out of the building & then he got
back in w/jeremy (sudoroom member).
he said that he would be back in 2 weeks & there was nothing we could do to
keep him out of the building when he returns.
i feel like i should just start an omni non-member bullshit blog so as not
to tax our mail server.

https://github.com/sudoroom/robot-arm-art
we have a bunch of code on the github.
Even a little stuff added, like extra photographs, links would be helpful.

There's already an omni-mediation list and an omni-discuss list. I
think sudo-discuss is NOT the place for this. Sudoroom is just a
hackerspace inside the Omni, and it sounds like the people involved
were not Sudoroom members nor did they claim to be, and the events did
not happen inside Sudoroom.

sudofriends,
This is just an FYI, that foolsFury Theater Co. is renting the Disco room
for rehearsals many nights throughout the next month or so, and they will
be using one of the trunk lockers on the north west end of sudoroom. Yar
said it was okay. They will donate to sudoroom in return shortly.
Just letting folks know in case they see strangers walking through. They
are friendly. Say hello if you feel inclined.
Love,
Julio
