Hello! Dexx, Interesting thought having all the participants on any particular thread all being transported to a room confronted face to face! Another facet to that might be to consider having all participants not reveal their name or thread identity-----open the procedings by having some refreshments and a few snacks, some nice friendly chit - chat, and my guess in less then 4 hours , people that appear to be most amiable to each other on the threads would also be drawn or attracted to one another just through natural progression! And of course the opposite affect for those of the opposite affiliation! (JMO!) It makes me wonder? Not attempting to be judgemental, but would he be her? would she be he?--would they be them?--My oh! My! It would be interesting to say the least! ( JMO!)--- Would there be potential for a break out of violence? Commoradory? Humility? Reconciliation? New found Friendships?--A meeting of a potential significant other?-Would there be Laughter? Saddness? Empathy? Sorrow? Joy? Personal gratification? New found Friendships? There are times when I speculate what everyone's appearance would be to my eye! I experienced a little humility the other day from my youngest daughter! Even though I should have known bettor, I saw an unfortunate soul staggering along the side of the highway, and with a less then favourable tone, I turned to my daughter and said whatdo you think of that example of a human being? My daughter , very quietly, looked at me, and said , he looks , very sad and lonely! And Dad? How come you didn't stop and give him a ride? Yep! There is much to learn from our children! But! We must hurry! As this sometimes cruel world allows them to grow up very quickly so that they can be just like their Dad!---Then the learning ceases to be! Finishing a very big bowl of Humble Pie!
