Hi everyone, I know we discussed at the last meeting Gwen slamming the
door in someone's face when she asked to use the bathroom. There was
another incident that went down the exact same way a few days ago, and
tonight there was another that prompted me to ask Gwen to leave.

I was sitting in the small classroom and heard Gwen answer the door,
and shouted "it's 50,000 a month, are you going to help pay for this
place, huh, are you" in a very aggressive tone, but she allowed the
person in to use the bathroom. As the person was leaving, Gwen shouted
"YOU'RE WELCOME" repeatedly in an extremely snotty tone. I heard this
myself, confirmed I'd heard correctly with the woman who used the
bathroom, and then asked Gwen to leave. To her credit, she simply said
"no problem" and left immediately.

This is a completely unacceptable way to answer the door at Omni. I'm
not sure if Gwen if a sudo member, but I strongly feel whichever
collective she belongs to should call her in and have a conversation
about this. At the same time, I feel we have the responsibility not to
pretend this problem is limited to Gwen and at the next sudo meeting
we need to brainstorm ways to reform the door policy to be more
inclusive.
