+1 on really being hard on "no smoking inside" rule. That junk is hard to clean

I think it's a problem that people are misusing the space, and not really

trying to find out what it's intended for, and not trying to cooperate.

But i think it's a much bigger problem that people are smoking inside the

building, which leads me to worry about fires.  I think it's pretty

miraculous that we haven't had a fire yet, considering how few smoke

detectors we have and all the chaos that goes on when nobody's looking.

As for this particular situation, I think we need to ask Darin to take

responsibility for his friends and step up to straighten them out.  If he

says he can't control them, we should ask him to take the lead on figuring

out how to keep them from creating problems at Omni since he brought them

around.  Also since they might respect him more than others of us.

Robb I'm not worried about them calling you a racist, you have thick skin

and you can handle it.  But I am disappointed that they don't have a better

argument as to why they should be allowed to continue using the space.  Just

because you're a racist doesn't make it OK for them to be smoking inside the

omni.

Does anyone have the ability to contact Darin to get him involved with this

discussion, on OR off-list?

P.S. I am not starting a thread about racism, but we should all accept that

this society programs us from an early age to be racist, and we need to do

our best to grow out of it, while accepting the fact that we almost

certainly haven't yet.

darin, a new member to sudoroom, has been hosting some friends who have

all been hanging out in one of the basement rooms. aside from the obvious

evidence of

smoking in the room, there have been no problems.

this morning around 5:30am i noticed the light to the room was off and the

door was locked. i continued knocking but no answer. i started taking the

door off the

hinges and darins friends began notifying they were in there.

i asked them to leave. 2 out of 3 gave me a hard time and left and the

other tried to continue hiding & i almost overlooked him. when i finally

found him he gave me

even more of a hard time than the others but finally left.

around noon they were here without darin and i informed them of our

members sponsoring guests policy and that they should leave and come back

with darin.

i subsequently was told that i was racist and that i was a pussy and

stupid for volunteering my time w/o being paid.

not sure how to proceed, it this a sudoroom issue because they were

previously darin's guests (yesterday) or an omni issue because it happened

outside of sudoroom

w/o any sudo members being involved?

thx
