Question: Does this mean that if I am member I have to tell other members anything that they want to know? No. You have to answer a question honestly but one possible answer is that you do not wish to comment. Question: What if Greg is having dinner at Malcolm's place and is not sure whether Malcolm wants him to leave? Since Greg and Malcolm are both members Greg can count on Malcolm to state that he would like Greg to leave, if and when that becomes the case. Question: What if Dan (a member) says to you "What do you think of my wife's choice of rug?" while his wife (a non-member) is part of the conversation? You are not dealing with a group of members of the candor club, since Dan's wife is not a member, and so you are not bound by the rules. Question: Does this mean that one member can tell another member any upsetting or mean thing he or she pleases, as long as it is true? No, the rules do not require this. Members are not required to accept unsolicited criticism. Question: Do I have to wear this button all the time? No. When a member is not wearing their button they are not to be treated as a member. One can in a sense "opt out" of the club temporarily by not wearing the button. Many people find this useful because they want to be members most of the time, but other times based on mood or situation they would feel more comfortable adhering to the social norm. Be sure to be aware of this as you may sometimes encounter known members not wearing the button, and if you forget to wear the button you may be treated as a non-member. Question: I am a member but I don't have a button, how do I get one? We want to give all of our members a way to display their membership. The easiest way to get a button is to see one of the founding members in person, as we usually carry spares. If you are unable to do this, we can mail you a button at cost, which is only $1 US for the button and postage if you live in the United States. We can send you more if you'd like to give some to your friends. Send us an email and we'll work something out. Question: What if I like the idea of the club but I don't want to wear this button? Our goal is to make the candor club logo simple and easily recognizable so that it can be displayed in whatever manner suits your individual style. For example, the logo could be worn on a bracelet, ring, pin, necklace, or wristband, printed on a t-shirt, shaved into your sideburns, tattooed on your forehead, or whatever you can think of. We hope to soon have something even more stylish with which to proudly show off your membership. For now, please bear with us and enjoy your limited edition emblem. If you have ideas for how to improve the logo or how to realize it in an accessory please share them with us. Question: This is a neat idea, how can I help it spread? We are at a very early stage in our growth and so each individual member can have a significant impact on the spread of the candor club movement. So we're relying on you to help get the word out. The single most important thing you can do is wear your button because people will ask you about it and believe us, they will be interested. Question: Can I donate money? Yes, see the donation page for more information. Our goal is social change, not financial gain. Any resources donated to the club will be used to further the goals of strengthening its membership and increasing its presence, ultimately serving the needs of its members and society at large. |
