WHY EXCLUDE SOMEONE WHO SEEMS HARMLESS TO YOUR GATHERING?

Why exclude someone who seems harmless to your gathering? 🤔

The answer lies in understanding that presence itself has impact. When you thoughtfully curate attendance, you recognize that those who don't actively contribute to your gathering's purpose inadvertently dilute it, even through passive presence.

In intimate settings especially, each person shapes the group's energy and interaction. Meaningful exclusion isn't about rejection, it's about protecting the purpose and honoring those who are essential to it. True generosity means creating the right conditions for your gathering's success, even when that requires careful choices about who attends.

Restricting direct responses with certain criteria serves the same purpose. Those who should be in the fold will show their value in quotes and will be rewarded with the right energy and attention.
