I'm a little late to this conversation but I'd like to add my two cents.

Thank you to all who hold space for the various ways that we are able to connect our work to people that need it. And thank you to Michael for the tireless work he does on the openspace world website.

No one controls the number one spot in Google. It's all about how many people link to you. If you have quality stuff and people link to it you'll go higher in the rankings. I have no doubt that the ning site has all the potential to be number one and that would be great. But let's be clear that there is no way to conspire to keep others out of the top spots.

These strange personal attacks on the list do nothing to advance the community's work. It is highly out of character for this community to engage like this. I know everyone involved in this dispute personally and I am having a hard time ascribing motives or squaring what I am reading with what i know of these people personally.

We can all be prickly at times but is this a fight that is necessary to have?

With gratitude for passion bounded by responsibility.

Chris

For what it is worth, I experience Kaliya's comments as powerful, even courageous efforts to open space.

For what it is worth, I experience Michael's comments as name- calling, denigrating, invalidating, dishonoring. I find myself wishing he would make less attack statements and more 'I' statements, telling us what he thinks and feels without attacking others shared thoughts and feelings.

Subject: [OSLIST] re honouring each other

Hi Everyone,
I have been following this community for a while and will soon start
sharing info. Many thanks for all the enlivening info. I am grateful.
I feel the need to speak in response to Michael's comments re Kaliya's
thoughts.
OST is about staying open and positive and welcoming of all perspectives and ideas, as I experience it. Critiquing and judging and saying "no" to ideas stops the new, constantly self-emerging outflowing of ideas that is creating a continual shared meaning among us all that excites me to no
end.

All of Kaliya's ideas are valid.

Michael, may I suggest you own your own ideas more powerfully by using phrases like "in my opinion" or using the pronoun "I" rather than "you"
when you share your own ideas.

...and on with the OST dance,

Sincerely,
Kathie Wallace
Vancouver, BC, Canada
