We resolved more or less a discussion concerning my expulsion from several years ago. And i thought it reached a point of closure with me but it didn’t. Something that wad said repeatedly about the incident was that charges had to be filed against me to get me to return maker space property but I want to say one thing about that and ask a question of the members in general. The infraction occured on July 12th 2016, so 7/12/16. Charge s were filed against me for theft of property of a non profit organization on 7/13/16 less than 24 hours after the tools were borrowed.
this is a copy of the criminal charges and the date of the complaint is listed as the arrest date. 7/13/16. I had to spend 4 days in jail hundreds on bind money and was forced to do 24 hours of community service just to get a case dismissed that should never have been filed. I think my irritation over the situation was warranted. That being said and the last about it I care to say I have a question for the members at large : is a 12 to 24 hour period and acceptable period if time to wait without attempting to even contact a member before pressing criminal charges?
and after all that you STILL want to come back? why?
I gather nothing is stopping you now. but why?
since it should never have left - then yes.

People will never cease to amaze me. member works on a laptop all day leaves in a hurry to get to work on time not even thinking about it being a dms laptop goes to work then home after. You’re saying that the member should then have criminal charges files against them for theft?
Stop and look at this from an objective point of view, I dont care if you like me or not but your bias seems to ve severely affecting your judgement. You are literally saying that any men that leaves Dallas maker space with a tool laptop etc on accident should be charged with a crime within 24 hours of them leaving the space. Is this correct?
So packing up a DMS laptop by accident? Ok, far fetched but could happen. What is missing is being told no and not returning the laptop when asked.
Tools i.e. “laptops” are shared DMS resources. When you remove them from the premises you deny the membership access to them.
Accidentally doing so is not an issue. Doing so willfully is.

This was resolved and then reopened as another post which is against moderation rules. I’m closing this now. Do not open up another post, instead use pms or email the board.
