I am declining to say anything. Here.

Strange coincidence Pierce that you mentioned Waters and Gilmour etc.

I was just about to type a posting about how (in my experience) being in a community can sometimes be like being in a band, you know, things happen when people are living closely together, especially in a creative environment that attracts interesting people from all walks of life. Like here. Hootoo is a very creative community, not just to do with the arts, but in all kinds of ways.

Cor honestly, community dynamics! I lived for years in communities. Some days you would wonder what the heck you are doing there, like there's been so much conflict, physical fights even! then you have to attend meetings, and you feel like you are completely wrapped in bandages and why do you want to spend another minute of your life with these people,, then it gets OK and you realise you kind of love each other, that's why it all happened. Like a family.

hmm.

Or not. .

OK, forget the family bit, , but I am interested in what happens on the other side of conflicts, even if everyone is hurt and it's all angry, and wrapped in bandages.

What has been learned, what's the way forward?

So, is it naive to ask the same questions of this particular situation?
