[OSList] OST encourages avoidance of conflict

[Rolf F. Katzenberger]

A thought:

Whatever format you choose to host a "conversation that matters" (to
whom?): The Law of Two Feet always comes into play when you send out
your Call - people may choose to participate, or not to.

Once we start thinking that we can stay in control, e.g. by making
participation mandatory; or by choosing / designing a format disliked by
those who hear the Call; or simply by deciding that two people "should
finally start talking to each other": we've already fallen prey to an
illusion.

So, the Law of Two Feet always applies, because it is a law that applies
a long time before the event even started.

Cheers,
Rolf
