Yes, I know you did.
>I don't think it's the same,
ok.
I think it was worth having the Babble party. It helped people feel included. But there is going to be a cost for people who couldn't go. Just like there is a cost for people who can't sign up to a small board...
> If people would prefer it, I'd be perfectly happy to keep what happened there private. I just wanted everyone to feel included as much as I possibly could.
:-)
I know.
It is nice hearing peoples impressions etc.
It is nice to feel included in it vicariously in that way.
Not so nice when one feels like one is missing out because they don't get a joke or comment.
And people who have met have another layer of connection now.
Things change.
Thats life I suppose...> Completely different motivation than discussing things that people didn't want to include others on, wouldn't you think?
Yes. I don't think small boards are like that either. It idea isn't to keep particular people out. Rather it is to help people feel included who are in.
> The intent being to include others to the greatest extent I possibly can, instead of to exclude people.
Absolutely.
Please don't think I question your motivation Dinah. I know you are very well intentioned and also very sensitive to other peoples feelings.But I do think... That more people will feel included if small boards are implemented.
I also think that people feeling excluded can be reduced by doing such things as making the board only viewable to members etc.
