My point was...
That it isn't that the values are different.
It is just that you are weighting the value differently.
Everyone seems to value inclusion and think that exclusion is a bad thing.
So it is about weighting the inclusion versus the exclusion and making a decision.With respect to small boards...
Everyone is welcome to join.
But the constraint is joining before x number of people have joined.With respect to the Babble party...
Everyone is welcome to go.
But the constraint is having the means available to get there and having the spare time.In both cases the intention isn't to exclude people.
The intention is to make people feel more included.But the reality in both cases is that people can't join / go who would like to.
Sorry if you don't like the comparison, but I have to say that it strikes me...
