[Spacecadets] Using the east attic

[drew at hardcorp.io]

Adric,

Thank you for pointing out at tonight's meeting that our map labels the 
east attic as storage. But Quelab has no written rule saying that 
storage means use is forbidden, and nobody ever told me such a rule 
orally until this year, long after the board delegated space usage to 
space cadets. The argument that there's always been such a rule isn't 
credible. Either get space cadets to approve a new rule, or have the 
board revoke space cadet's authority on the issue and have the board 
approve a new rule.

We've gone years with no problem with people using the east attic. 
Alfred, Craig, Raphael, and Sherie used it with no problem. But I ask 
the board to justify kicking Chris Zapotocky's stuff out of the west 
attic, and two weeks later, the board/president (dunno who really, what 
with Quelab's opacity of governance), knowing that I'm the only one 
frequently using the east attic now, decides to begin the process of 
kicking me out. Saying the timing is a coincidence is not a credible 
explanation. You're targeting me just as surely as you were targeting 
Chris.

If your honest reason for kicking people out of the east attic was just 
anally retentive exact compliance with a lease provision that our 
liberally-permissive landlord certainly doesn't care about, and with 
some nanny-state regulation that no government agent will ever bother us 
about unless taunted, then you would have kicked everybody out years 
ago. You certainly wouldn't have a two-term board member (Craig) and an 
officer (Sherie) each with worktables up there.

I've never done anything to anybody at Quelab, except to fight back when 
people screw with me or my stuff, to scold people for associating with 
blackmailers, and to scold people for making asinine arguments against 
me for the preceding two things. And right now, you're screwing with me. 
I'm bothering nobody in the attic, and I've already offered to pay rent 
for the table space I'm using.

Instead of trying to invent a way to harass me, why don't you and the 
rest of the board spend your time on something actually useful, such as 
getting our new treasurer access to our bank account? You've known now 
for five months that you need to do it, and you're two months late doing 
it.

P.S. Freedom-loving people normally have enough common sense to ignore 
nanny-state regulations whenever possible. I'll be happy to sign a 
waiver saying I won't sue Quelab if I burn to death because I'm trapped 
in the attic while the building burns down.
