Peaceful, Liberal Conflict Resolution

In the end we had to do something about Ludwick and Bloodwort.  Frankly they were really getting to us, strutting around the place wearing their notorious "Mauve Shirts" (all the other colours have gone) and telling us we had to be out by tomorrow lunchtime.

As mentioned previously, our normal conflict resolution methods of pretending we didn't really disagree, patronising people and saying that all paths lead to the truth didn't work with people who keep poking you in the ribs and insisting that actually they're right and you aren't allowed to have an opinion.  And we'd forgotten how to use the skills of intelligent debate and actually finding the flaws in other people's views.  So we've had to resort to the Gulfing Room.

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say what happens in the Gulfing Room.  But I can tell you that it came about through the  application of my Psychology degree with Hnaef's interests in Theology and Electronics.  It approaches these disagreements at the psycho-spiritual and emotional level.  I think you could say it's therapeutic rather than educational or informational.  And that's all I will say.  However, when our two would-be dictators crawled out, smelling faintly of lavender oil, we knew we'd done the trick.  At the moment Ludwick is out in the garden burbling that the rabbits are secretly gnomes, while Bloodwort is enjoying his "Sufi'ism for Beginners" workshop.

The Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley would like to express their thanks to those two late, great English authors, Douglas Adams and PG Wodehouse, for having the original ideas we stole for this posting.
