So, now that you got us (or at least me :)) curious -- what kind of
rules
did they have on that list? Racheli. On Nov 29, 2006, at 8:27 AM, Tree Bressen wrote:
Hi Sharon & folks,I have long wanted to participate in a list for intentional communitiesthat would reflect the breadth of community, rather than a narrow list like Cohousing-L. Cohousing-L is such a wonderful resource with open sharing people, wouldn't it be great to have an email list open to all intentional communities so they could share. So when a list was announced in the last Fellowship for Intentional Communities newsletter, I immediately joined. The rules for participation on the list tell the story about why there are so few intentional communities and no list on which they share information. The rules grew and grew over the first month so that I finally sent a message that I knew would get me evicted. The list of rules:[snip]After cohousing, it was a very strange set of rules. And, of course, Isaid so, and am no more on the list. But I thought this might present agood comparison of the different mind-set of cohousers compared to other intentional communities.Hey now! The rules and administration of that particular list (for newcommunities starting up) that you cite seem rather peculiar to me too, and i doubt the list will have a long life. But please don't take that list vs. Coho-L as a valid comparison of cohousing vs. the broader intentional communities movement--it's not fair to pick out one offputting example todiscredit a vast set of communities. I could just as well find some offputting cohousing start-up group and compare it to one or morewell-established non-cohousing communities and say that cohousing is worsethan other communities, but why would i do that?
