[hackerspaces] any recommendations for handling of a troll?

[Peter]

thanks for your opinion, you convinced me:

ignore him, give him no reason to start whatever he might do.
we will lead him gently out of our hackerspace if he shows up,
i will not allow any discussion.

quietly delete/block/ignore. the costs the least amount of energy and time.

i ask others not to write this person any mail. a justification is not 
necessary.

again, thanks, peter

ps: our "guy" seams to be harmless, compared to the 
creeper/stalker/whatever in the other thread.
