[Vanhackspace] 45 W. Hastings Proposed Alley Mural

[Joe Bowser]

Hey

This list is an unmoderated list, and I would like to keep it that way.
That being said, based on the last couple of comments, I would like to point
out that they are contrary to the principles and the spirit of the
Hackerspace, as listed here:

http://vancouver.hackspace.ca/doku.php?id=principles

Making fun of the rats is fine, but given the fact that we are relatively
new members of the Downtown Eastside community, it would be appreciated if
sensitivity was shown when making comments about the space.  If people could
refrain from making remarks at the expense of others on the public list,
that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
