I mean I know folks who just react as devils advocate, without digesting the problem at hand, and functioning that way is nearly impossible. <div><br></div><div>James<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Pete Prodoehl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raster@gmail.com" target="_blank">raster@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Do you find that there is a certain percentage who just don't care one way or the other? Like, there's 10% who just say "meh!" and never seem to feel positive or negative towards what others do and what happens around them?<br>
<br>
My guess would be that even with smaller groups this is the case, but if so, I wonder if such a percentage can be calculated at all.<br>
<br>
(Yeah, that doesn't help you at all now does it!?)<br>

At Pumping Station: One we've used do-ocracy<br></div>

day one. However, at 140 members I wonder if the system breaks down.<br>
It's not practical to "ask around" and see if anyone minds if the<br>
bikeshed is painted pink. Someone's going to oppose almost anything you<br>
want to do, and more people want to ask questions and bounce the issue<br>
between themselves with not much productive output. And if we're<br>
talking about an action that's not reversible, like getting rid of<br>
"useless junk" that someone else thinks is very valuable, it can really<br>
blow up.<br>
<br>
Does anyone else have experience using do-ocracy at a large scale, and<br>
how has it worked out for you?<br>
