I too hope that you'll give it a go. Given your trepidation, though, I
suggest an exercise: pick one or two of the folks from whom you think you
might get crap, and start out with a private exchange with them; base the
exchange on some of the principles of dialogue in The Fifth Discipline and
the Fieldbook. (Actually, I vaguely remember that there were some
messages here a short time ago on techniques for exploring differences
without trying immediately to resolve them -- maybe Rick can provide the
URLs.) Take it "public" on the list when both (all) sides feel they're
starting to learn something.
