It seems to me that you are missing something. Don't you talk to people 
*face to face* about such issues??
Email conversations are very useful, but IMO they are (most of the time) 
somewhat of a pale shadow of real life connections.  
I often have the kind of discussions we have "here" with people in person
-
Including but not limited to cohousing people.  Process issues come up 
everywhere, and are not unique to cohousing.   As a peace activist, I find
myself discussing issues of decision making a whole lot.  My cohousing
experience  has enriched my understanding of power issues, consensus, the
nature of desirable meetings, and so on - but it's also the case that my
experiences  elsewhere bear upon how I see cohousing, and what I can bring
to it.
