Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Communication Social and Anti-social?

[Kay Argyle (Kay.Argyle]

"... anti-social communication occurs when you don't attend to the desire of
a group to stay on their topic."

Please speak for yourself. Claiming to speak for a group is a manipulative
technique.

The proposal John asked for feedback on had a linkage between common house
usage and participation that is (in my 13 years' observation of cohousing)
unusual. The ensuing discussion about the place and efficacy of rules and
requirements in community would have been better for an early change in
subject line (mea culpa among others; sorry, kindly moderator); nonetheless,
it was not off-topic for the list itself (as witness many similar threads in
the archives), and obviously others besides Wayne found it of interest.

"Less please."

I will agree that Wayne might communicate his ideas better if he could make
them more concise. It's a skill I have struggled to acquire myself. On the
other hand, asking him to "please stop taking up so much space on this
forum" seems excessive. His right to participate is equal to yours. You
don't need to read his messages if you don't want to. Is your delete key
broken?
