I applaud Traci fenton's intentions and energy, but 95+ % of organizations are (IMO) nowhere near democracies in any conventional sense of the word.

I am also a bit wary of WorldBlu ... the founder (Traci) asked me to write a guest blog post about how organizational democracy and wirearchy are related, about a year ago. I wrote several, edited the final draft several times to be shorter and less controversial (at Traci's request), had promises that it would be posted (April and May 2007), and there has been no blogging activity, etc. since last April.

I dislike doing free work that is then ignored ... it devalues the work and demonstrates a basic lack of respect. How hard is it to publish a blog post ?
