Elliot, with all due respect, I feel strongly that you should step back from the role of acting as "enforcer" for the building. I wish that there was a better distinction between personal problems and community problems that require community intervention, and I wish, Elliot, that you would recognize that you have A LOT of personal problems with people everywhere you go and that the role of the collective is not to make sure that everyone wants to be your friend. I know that the purpose of this listserve is not to publicly shame eachother but I am sick of this affecting every project that you touch. Also I think using the language of "safety" in a situation like this (that is uncomfortable but not unsafe) is super- manipulative and will contribute towards people not taking serious words seriously anymore and its a real problem. Please find a way to share space and participate in community projects without appointing yourself as enforcer or making yourself a spokesperson for  groups that routinely disagree with you on your process and analysis. Please just be Elliot, and please find a way to deal. I am sorry if this hurts you or embarasses you. Know that I will have your back when it gets real. We can talk more in person if you like.
