Dear Csaba,
Dear Kifu Team,

Unfortunately, I had to take the decision to ban Csaba Mate from on-site participation in the interop event due to unruly behavior. Throughout this morning, already five EANTC colleagues alerted me that his behavior has been unacceptable:

* Shouting loudly at other vendor participants, especially in one case to a
female co-worker from another company almost harassing her
* Attacking our intern and his Apple laptop, smashing it closed forcibly
(other participants equipment should never be touched without consent)
* Intentionally smashing premises doors (kitchen door 180 degrees opened,
then forcefully slammed; same with main entrance glass door)
* Intentionally messing with lab equipment (hot aisle containment); when I
confronted him, Csaba told me that I shouldn t care because it s not my
equipment and then, when I
said that it indeed is, he told me not to worry because Kifu is covered
by insurance if he breaks it (btw I think no insurance pays for willful
destruction)
* Using strong language ( fucking ) repeatedly

Generally, at EANTC we maintain a collaborative and non-violent workspace. Csaba does not fit this place, obviously. Due to the many things that happened within just a few hours, I will not wait for a management review from Kifu before expelling him.

The access card will be deactivated, and I, as EANTC executive manager, ask Csaba to refrain from trying to enter our premises. In German, we issue an order to stay away ( Hausverbot ). In case of a violation, we will call the police for trespassing.

Csaba may continue participation from remotely, using our collaboration tools (VPN, Rocketchat, Wiki). This is under the expectation that Csaba will refrain from harassing, strong language, or otherwise uncooperative behavior. In case of any additional issues, we will also ban Csaba from remote participation in the event.

I am very sorry about this incident; it is the first time in 20 years that a
person behaves like this.

Best regards, Carsten
