Rob -- it is only demeaning if the person referred to is something other than the condition described. I always consider it self-referential, so that has never been a problem :-) Whenever I make things overly complicated I know I am stupid.

I prefer the inclusive version as it helps build relationships and team work - Keep It Short and Simple. This KISS is very much part of Open Space thinking particularly when it starts and finishes (not my time frame but the participant's active time).
