I don't think it is that our values are different, Dinah. I think it is that you are weighting things differently.
So...
Pro of small boards: some people will feel included who wouldn't if small boards weren't implemented.
Con of small boards: some people will feel excluded who wouldn't if small boards weren't implemented.Pro of Babble party: some people will get the extra layer of having their friendships confirmed IRL (which I think is kind of like feeling included).
Con of Babble party: some people will not get the extra layer of having their friendships confirmed IRL (which is kind of like feeling excluded).In the small board eg you think the cons are weighted more heavily than the pros.
But with respect to the Babble party you think it is weighted the other way around.Does this make sense???
