Cohousing-L Mailing List: Reasonable Objections

Was....Interpreting Sharon's" individual vs. group" statements

Kay said:
"The "compromise" some of the incense-users are willing to agree to is that
(a) they won't burn it if they know someone with asthma is going to be
present, and (b) they'll only burn it in a couple of rooms -- exactly what
they were already doing.  This is a compromise?  I don't feel it offers me
anything.

An ad hoc committee of members on both sides of this issue is supposed to
meet and draft a proposal.  If the incense-users' offer is what passes, I'm
going to have to stand aside, because I cannot and will not agree to
something that compromises members' safety.

And afterwards I go back to the slow burn, now without the consolation that
they're acting out of ignorance -- they know what they're doing, and they
insist on doing it anyway.  Not exactly a resolution."


Kay....How can "they" justify going ahead if someone has a reasonable
objection to the proposal?
