Readers and Visitors? may I introduce the Raison-ettes and a roger

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Have we got some Progenitors and DownSprings or what? The amount of effort that these people have been putting into the Doctrine of late is so impressive that I just had to write a Post.  Behind the scenes (and in one case), so not behind the scenes, these folks not only are a credit to their type (clark or scott or roger) but they are perfect examples of their type.  (For the new visitors, Progenitors are one of the three namesakes of the theory of…. and DownSprings are the people who have learned of the Wakefield Doctrine directly from a Progenitor and has chosen to work to advance the great mission of bringing the Doctrine to the world. That and get themselves a hat (for their damn heads).

Joan of Arc

roger, (the Progenitor) has been pushing for some sort of static information to be placed on the ‘homepage/landing page’ or whatever the hell you call the first place you come to when you arrive. Well-reasoned and totally founded in the conservative-tradition-promulgating-drive of all rogers. He did advocate this fairly early in the development of the blog and more recently he stepped up and said, ‘hey, why don’t you have something with bullet points, a list of information and guides so people will know that it is normal to think they are all three or other stuff? Now leave me alone, I need to write a novel, binyons’.

joanne and glenn have been hard at work behind the scenes. joanne (aka the Mistress of the Questionaires) was recently observed chillin out a potential conflict amongst Commentationers a few Posts ago. With her trademark low key way, she totally averted a (metaphorical) fistfight from breaking out when the roger and glenn were  trying to  join forces and resist the correct and morally sanctioned guidance being offered by the Moderator. Joanne’s enthusiam (in this case, for ‘finding the globe thingie’) had them two cooling out…  peace and harmony prevailed. glenn, for his part, has been setting back and cultivating his strategy (to borrow a rogerian term), nothing goes on in the “mind” of a scott that is not billboard-obvious to clarks, but I suspect he be re-working his ‘set list’.

That being said, it is the recent efforts of the Raison-ettes that has me totally, sit-down, look-up, wtf impressed. The Raison-ettes is/are, of course, our own Ms. AKH and DownSpring#1 (DS#1). And if you ask what the name means,  ( Hey, ¿qué diablos es el trato con ese nombre … Raison-Ettes? ¿Es que algún tipo de sociedades secretas galliec …) well, I got no good answer.
But I will say this, the Wakefield Doctrine is glad they are on our side.

Ms. AKH… energy? enthuusiasm?? Does the Pope Baptize bears in the woods? Ms. AKH is the newest of the DownSprings but she a walking illustration of the scottian female. You saw her writing Comments as soon as she joined the Doctrine, many of the early ones were a little short on the technical aspects of the Doctrine, but right from the first there was that scottian confidence. (there is an old saying: a scott is often wrong, but never uncertain). Needless to say, AKH was an immediate asset to this thing of ours, but it was not until the beginning of the 90 Day Challengethat we saw the full-monty. She has taken to the Challenge like Joan of Arc at a barbecue!  She has, in the last week or so, been (nearly) everywhere that there might be an opportunity or improvement, technique or strategy (that) could be used to help us meet the November deadline.  For starters, go take a look at her facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/?sk=app_2309869772#!/profile.php?id=1018208475&v=info but better plan on pitching in and helping. In true scottian manner, MS AKH is all about getting people inspired to work towards achieving her goal. It is this ferocity of the scottian nature that she shows, not because of what we may say in one of these Posts, but simply because that is what a scott in her position would naturally do. Nice work.

The other half of the Raison-ettes is DS#1. Being a clark, well, you sorta have to make the effort to see her work, her contribution, her influence. Being a clark, DS#1 has worked to do whatever can be done to get this thing out there, in the werld. Like Sally Struthers at a pie eating contest, I could go on and on, but I won’t.  The thing about clarks, quiet, reserved, weird, funny dressers that they are, is that they will always surprise people.  For instance, we have been writing, in these Posts recently, about how maybe we need to find a way to share the experience of learning about clarks, scotts and rogers more directly with our Readers. Up until the creation of this blog,  the Doctrine has spread because glenn would stand next to a person and point out the rogers in the room or the Progenitor roger would be in some companies’ employee training room, sharing the secret (with the other rogers) of how to avoid being eaten by the scott at the front of the room. It has all been direct, word of mouth, face to face  stuff like that.
For her effort to help keep this fuckin thing afloat, DS#1 went the direct route. It follows:

So let’s have a  round of applause for the effort of all the Progenitors and DownSprings. You know what they say about the Wakefield Doctrine!

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    I do not mean to pick on rogers. Really.
    Revelations lately as a result of “life” stuff.
    (yes, at least I think I have something constructive to offer) Keep in mind this comes from a clark…
    rogers do not seem to like it when others, and by others I mean people they know/are close to) breach the fence line, stray from the field – do not conform. rogers are uncomfortable with “otherness” – anything that does not conform with the mold/formula. Now, for clarks, nonconformity is never a conscious choice it just is. Even when clarks try to “fit in” there is always something to set them apart be it ever so small a thing in their own eyes. Take an office setting (rogerian) for example. A female clark may be able to pull off the dress code required but doesn’t quite complete it because of her choice of footwear or her jewelry. Accessories are always a dead giveaway. (Oh, and the hair in most cases)
    But I digress – back to rogers and their difficulty in understanding when people are not like “everybody else”. It differs from the scottian perspective. scotts may recognize the “standing out in a crowd” but they simply don’t care. Not really. scotts are about crowd control, about dominance, being the “one in charge”, the one “looked up to”. scotts are the leader(s) of the clique. Having said that, I do not mean to imply that scotts will not try and “be higher” over clarks but they know instinctively it will be more of a challenge(than rogers).
