Yea, talking has been pretty much fun here of late--even when we disagree or temporarily drive each other nuts over an issue. Then again, it's been my observations that healthy newsrooms foster good dialogue. As long as an issue is about an editorial objective (vs. personal), everyone treats the others with respect, any required apologies are made if things get too hot or someone's wrong, forgiveness and an "not a biggie" are extended, no grudges are held and there's no "paybacks", then it's a chance to learn. The best newsroom I ever worked in, we didn't just disagree--we sometimes brawled. And boy, were we GOOD in what we produced every single day.! If we brawled, we finished it over beers after the bulldog.     ;}
