In that sense dialogue is the existence of the 4 principles of dialogue, and dialogue is therefore a property a conversation can have more or less of.<BR/><BR/>The whole 1970's free-association 20-man meeting thing is old-hat and now considered to be little more that the original experiments that generated the "principles of dialogue" that the dialogue conversation property is based on.<BR/><BR/>Your "don'ts" rules here are hardly more that encouraging people to follow the principles of dialogue, so it's actually a very tight match with the latest generation of dialogue scholars (like me & Gerald.)B.
