it nibbles on your fingers, but it's more cute than anything else.
Ok, now to make more sense.
Let me pose a dilemma, a puzzling conundrum, if you will. This is more a hypothetical situation than one that MHDC currently faces, but I'm curious to hear y'all's response to this paradigmatic example to get a better sense of how you think.
Let's say you've got a real problem guest.
Never brings food or drink to potluck shabbat. always conveniently "forgets" and doesn't RSVP.
Very creepily hits on the other guests.
Smells kind of funny.
Jewish but has a bad attitude about judaica in events.
Occasionally shows up somewhat plastered.
Offensive and politically incorrect.
Calls people grating pet names.
Gassy.
Is a member of the house.
His name is Leo.
Ok, so I'm kidding about the extreme nature of this hypothetical example, but my main question remains - what do you do when you have a guest who isn't contributing to the warm, supportive nature of the Moishe House environment? I don't think we've had guests who really approach this point, only a few awkward fish at worst, but I was curious where and when you see it appropriate to say something to a guest and what you consider defines a "problem guest". What would you say?
Rgds,
Dvid
