While I hardly think this is the appropriate place to name names, I reject your claim thoroughly. The only tools belonging to DMS that I used were the gantry and 2 of the jack stands. The remainder of the tools I used were my own, including floor jacks and my own engine hoist. I was there almost every day working on the car, except for a few days due to the damnable traffic caused by the poor weather we had during that period, and during all of that time I had permission from the Automotive chair to store the car under such conditions. Any mess that had been left was addressed, including personally addressing concerns with a member of the board whose name I can’t recall- the tall man with the grey stubble.
Once I had the car sufficiently patched up to roll out of the shop, I proceeded to clean the entire automotive square with degreasers and detergent to pull up any stains left by any oil I, or even others, had spilled. I even took a picture while I waited for the floor to dry after mopping it all up. (By the by, that Hong Kong Phooey Miata was in the square before I ever showed up, and remained even after I left, occupying the casters nearly the entire time)
After that, I did cancel my membership, yes. This was for 2 reasons: I became unemployed during that period and couldn’t afford to pay $50 a month to subscribe to work on projects I could no longer afford, and because I became privy to a disturbing level of politics and games of gossip, which severely impacted my view of the MakerSpace and several of its key members.
Oh, and by the way, somebody should really try and clean up the oil spill under the Haas mill. You know, seeing as how spilled oil is such a big deal when Automotive does it.
So if you want to bite, you can bite me @AlexRhodes. This is the sort of one-way-but-not-the-other nonsense that put a DMS membership at the bottom of my priority list.
