I recieved an email from a good friend and organizer about a communication that they recieved.
The person stated that they are aware of someone who has returned to the community who has a history of consent violations and bad behavior... ect...
My friend organizes a munch and parties and has asked what I think.
As a long time organizer I have dealt with this before and here are my guidelines:
1) if this person shows to my parties and breaks my rules they are dealt with accordingly.
2) my job is to manage my space for a limited time and not to police the community.
3) although I would love to believe the person bringing this information forward, people are not always honest and sometimes come with alternative motives.
Because my community is small- one half is the other halves exes- I do not take sides. Nor do I interfere in interpersonal spats.
My welcome list is heavily regulated.
I am cultivating a certain demographic and people that tend to do those things do not feel comfortable for long in my space. That is intentional.
