Does anyone have advice/experience with the leadership
abusing their powers, doing unconstitutional/unethical
things? (specifically: bullying members with mental
'abnormalities').<br>

I think they invented the stuff about IRL harassment because
they would look silly banning me just for supposed
'trolling'. (I was NOT 'trolling').<br>
<br>
There is CCTV in the space, so we can determine very easily
if I was 'following' people around. They refuse to give any
details about what the CCTV shows.<br>
They refuse to give any details about the nature of the real
life harassment. I can provide many witnesses that spent
time with me day to day in the space, and that will testify
that I have not harassed anyone.<br>
