It defies the very nature of Africans - our cultural fundamentals to dialogue until a resolution is reached, until out hearts' content. It violates the freedom of speech that we all subscribe to. Totally against our being. A dialogue, any dialogue should continue until we are satisfied. There are no gate keepers in traditional African dialogue settings. If you wish not to participate, just play the lurker. That is some form of expression too. </div>
