Hey all,
I am regularly moved by the sudo room community's compassion.
However, allow me to re-iterate a selection of my original message, facts
and my personal positions that have not changed:
this is the second time in our new location (I was present the first time)
... of Elliot escalating a situation to a physical,
even violent, response
on his part.
We must differentiate patterns of behavior from isolated incidents. This is
a pattern, and I think it reasonable to anticipate the risk of repeat
behavior.
I am no longer willing to tolerate this behavior
Nor do I believe anyone should.
[Elliot's continued participation is] ... a greater cost, and even greater
potential risk, than a revocation of his privilege to
use the space.
Consequences are hard to deal with, but we, as individuals, must hold
ourselves and each other responsible for our actions.
It has become more and more obvious to me that when individuals take
advantage of their access to the commons, it is most critical for our
community to act as stewards, to show resolve that such behavior will not
be tolerated, and that paths to reconciliation begin with recognizing that,
if necessary, the privilege to access the commons can, and will, be taken
away.

The path forward for those interested in pursuing this
issue is to put it
on the sudoroom meeting agenda, and show up prepared to discuss a proposal.
No one involved in this issue was present at the sudo room meeting last
night. In all honesty we could really use more participation in those
meetings by regular members other than Marc, myself and Matt.
Thanks,
Jenny

Thanks for the comments, and update.
Hopefully we'll figure out how to go about finding a solution for this.
