Welcome
to the
Wild
West!
I'm Laurence. I invite you all to join The
Posse.
The Posse is a dedicated group of committed riders,
cowboys
and
cowgirls,
I started a while back. My purpose in starting this group is to create
an opportunity for us to get out there and enjoy riding
the range together, so to speak, of the new wild west frontier: the
internet,
mending fences and correcting the inaccuracies and in some cases
outright virulence we find in the new wild west about
the work
of
transformation.
In this I include allthe work
of
transformation.
This isn't a political group. We're not
voting for anyone. We're not lobbying,
canvassing,
or soliciting for anything either. Neither are we offering a candidate
or electing a new sheriff to run the bad guys out of Dodge City.
We're not law enforcement. We're not even
cavalry.
The way The Posse mends fences and corrects inaccuracies about
the work
of
transformation
in the new wild west of the
internet
is we share our experience. That's all.
We're not combative. We don't have to be: the fight is already
all over.
We're not argumentative. Nobody's made wrong, and we're not right just
because we're The Posse. There'll be no Gunfight at OK
Corral on my watch. Nobody gets to say "Reach for the sky,
ya ornery varmint, or I'll fill ya full o' lead!" at high
noon on this mission. If you're looking for that, this isn't the team
for you. This isn't what we do. Not figuratively. Not literally.
People make up their own minds - about anything and everything. Not
surprisingly, people make up their own minds about
transformation
and about
the work
of
transformation
as well. And the thing about mending fences ie the thing about
correcting inaccuracies about
transformation
and about
the work
of
transformation
is I can't do it by making the inaccuracies wrong. To do that is
bad enough. But when I do it by making the
people wrong who are inaccurate about
transformation
and who are inaccurate about
the work
of
transformation,
it's
deadly.
Gee! I hope you get that ...
As soon as I stop sharing my experience and give over to defending
against the perceived attack, I'm lost (coaching
Werner Erhard may have
given).
When you ride the range with The Posse, when you mend fences on the
new wild west frontier of the
internet,
share your experience. That's all The Posse does. It's not only that
sharing my experience mends fences where they've been breached by
inaccuracy and virulence. It's that sharing my experience without being
combative, without being argumentative, without making wrong, without
being right, creates the space for people to make up their own minds
about
transformation
and about
the work
of
transformation.
I welcome you to The Posse. Thank you for riding the range with me.
Thank you for mending fences with me. Thank you for correcting
inaccuracies about
transformation
and about
the work
of
transformation
on the new wild west frontier of the
internet.
