I'm not really qualified to speak on this, but the most annoying part about this is it seems like a new discussion every 6 months. It's like asking your roommate to not set fire to the kitchen, but every half hour you have to go stop them from doing it... at some point it almost feels easier to just have the kitchen on fire than to continually worry about the kitchen being on fire.

I assume that I'm not alone in this feeling.

One solution is to kick out your roommate. The other solution is to fireproof your whole kitchen (encrypt the whole web for start).
Yet another solution is to have a through vetting process so you don't bring this kind of roommate into your home and kitchen in the 1st place.
But what if you don't have a choice and the building manager just appoints your roommate. We need to kick out the building manager.
But the building manager is elected by a relatively small percentage of tenants who live in buildings that just happen to have a roughly even balance of Republicans and Democrats.
