How To Exclude Well
Excluding generously means killing obligatory invites to irrelevant people.
A Bob is an irrelevant person you feel obligated to invite. They are (because anyone can be a Bob) harmless in theory, but anyone who isn’t fulfilling the purpose of the event is actively detracting from it.
Every single person affects the dynamic of the group; once a Bob is in a space, the act of welcoming & inclusion takes energy away from the gathering’s purpose.
Excluding well means reframing who and what you’re being generous to, first. The correct answer is your guests and your purpose.
