Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: re: giving and taking

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

On the contrary, Don. Everyone involved has posted ad nauseum, and still the
misunderstandings, meanderings and posturings remain. Who is more correct?
Who cares more about children? Who can get in the last word? Blah, blah,
blah.

This list is about cohousing. The post I referrred to had *not one sentence*
about cohousing. I care about getting it built, but more importantly, about
supporting the people involved. This kind of self-indulgent rambling puts
people off. There are over 500 people on this list, most of whom are
lurkers, many on the fence about cohousing. This makes us looks bad. People
will unsubscribe, I guarantee.

I'd rather piss people off with the truth than write three pages of BS that
people have to wade through. Even if it's Tolstoy, it's too long for a
listserve. Sue me. Flame me, whatever. But for pete's sake, do it off
list!!!
