<p>Yes others can walk out ! <strong><span style="color: #000000;">and before they walk out, they can also contribute by saying out loud what they feel</span></strong> -most probably others share the same feeling facing a "dictator" facilitating his subject ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that requires being passionate about the subject it self, and moreover it requires <strong>boldness</strong>, yes it requires boldness to face someone who "dictates" and sharing out loud with a person who unconsciously is in a <em>dictator mode</em> not being aware of it</p>
<p>and it requires high awareness to know what to decide :</p>
<p>do I speak now and take a risk (bullying, shame, being wrong, having misunderstood...) and how do i speak in order to achieve my point ?</p>
<p>or do I walk out right now if I feel it's a lost cause ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>interesting post, Daniel & Lucas, thanks for sharing :)</p>

<div>
<div>Is it accurate to say that some self organizing happens by invitation and some happens by coercion/force? </div>
<div><br />></div>
<div>For example, from the perspective of someone who lives outside of Iraq, the way the Ba'ath Party took charge of Iraq through a coup seems like an example of self-organizing by force to us, because we're outside the system of Iraq. I welcome some thoughts on this.</div>
<div><br />></div>
<div>Over the past few months (and working with Michael Herman for VOSonOS) I've seen that the spirit of invitation shouldn't end with the writing of the invitation, and instead it should be present throughout the open space. When someone posts a topic on the marketplace wall, they are inviting others to a conversation, not taking over a time slot (like having a coup and taking over a small country).</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br />></div>
<div class="gmail_extra">When someone wants to be a "dictator" of their open space session, yes others can use their two feet and walk out, but that comes at a cost to the social fabric of the organization. A better outcome would be that the would-be dictator holds a welcoming space from the start. So I'd recommend that another sign worth posting on the wall near "Law of Two Feet" would be "Spirit of Invitation". I think it's wall-worthy, do you?</div>
