I have been watching this thread with interest. I grew up in a family of slappers and screamers, and have a fairly high tolerance for outbursts. In fact, I get bored if things are TOO calm and I sometimes don't TRUST people who are too calm. I tend to p*ss more "delicate" people off with my own straightforward (some would say abrasive/aggressive) conversational style. This isn't to say that I am an oafish boor who is always too loud; I work in a public service/management position and am also a damn good group facilitator. But, as Rob and others have pointed out, people have very different comfort levels with different conversational styles. Personally I don't think the goal is to never HAVE outbursts, but to use them constructively. (I, for one, would be uncomfortable with the process that Lynn suggests; I would feel, I don't know, stifled isn't exactly the right word. Like they were trying to shut me up/censor me/ "disappear" me.) I have been both the outburster as well as the outburst recipient. In many cases the ways that the group have dealt with, learned and grown from these incidents have been very positive. ********************************************************** Eris Weaver erisw [at] sonic.net SoCoHo http://www.sonic.net/~erisw/socoho.html Sonoma County, Northern California where we FINALLY closed on our land (huzzah!) and the bulldozers should be rollin' in June! _______________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list Cohousing-L [at] cohousing.org Unsubscribe and other info: http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/cohousing-l
