Yes, that's quite correct. An oversight I will remedy. Indeed, I
was not consciously aware of the fact that I play a different game
and this is exactly what always gets me frustrated and unhappy
with Mindlist et al.

I'm trying to do the Think Tank and you only need ONE SINGLE
PERSON in there who wants to play dog-eat-dog, and it all falls
apart.

It would make an EFT statement, that. A long one, but a good one.

Two very important aspects that readily spring to mind which are
essential to me about communication and missing from the list is
reflection and triangulation. Or indeed, learning. How about
healing? Restoration? Re-energising? Delight? Challenge? All of
these would be higher on my personal list than any of the ones you
mentioned.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not buying or selling here
but attempting to learn. Firstly and foremostly.

Not really. This list of game rules is my statement of what I want
to do here. It is up to you entirely if you want to play this game
or not. If the rules are not stated up front, you cannot choose to
play by them.

If you - or anyone else - chooses not to play by those rules, then
I can remove them from the game as the moderator of this list. So
that the chosen game may continue.

I freely appreciate that it didn't occur to me that someone would
want to play *another* game rather than learning/exploration (for
example, selling/convincing) so I never thought it necessary to
set down rules, or re-inforce them, for that matter.

But now that it is out in the open, things are a great deal
clearer all around. Including what I have to do to ensure the
correct game is being played on this list.

Correct as in - what I want to do. Learning, exploration, Think
Tank exchanges.

So I will hop off now and put the game rules on the sign up pages
for both ET2 and PS. Then when folk start scrapping I can refer
them to it.
