Harrison and Feliz-- I will endeavor to post this thread as you invited. It will probably not get done in the next two weeks because of an OS I am preparing for for next weekend.
Amanda-- Wow, what a tutorial and an expansion of my learning you have given me. Thank you. I need to re-read what you said and digest it some more for understanding how to work with space invaders. This particular situation is a bit different from how I may have led you to suppose. This is a committee in a church where there are six or so members, I among them and the lady in question is taking the part of the chair (I joined late, so I don't know if she actually was appointed the chair, or just assumed the role). The committee's task is to plan a retreat. The question for decision was to choose the date to hold the retreat. The committee agonized over the date for at least two hours over two meetings. They reached a decision, which this lady did not agree with. The next day she had a conversation with the minister (who does not have veto authority over the volunteer committee's actions) who expressed a desire for the date the chair had in mind. After that conversation, the committee chair e-mailed the committee saying that her date was back on. So my question relates to my more "personal" response--how do I internally and as a practice of peace and OS with the committee members respond? Mostly I am concerned with the space that has been taken away from the committee.... :-Doug.
