After the panel discussion I spoke with Jeremiah and told him that he should have almost made the panelists feel uncomfortable. I would have looked at all four of the panelists square in the eyes and said, "you're kidding right? you can't all be doing the exact same thing here." There is nothing wrong with some friendly debate, I mean everyone has an opinion. Panelists should expect to engage in some sort of a debate, if they are that thin skinned that they get offended at the sign of confrontation then they either have no idea what they are talking about, or should not be sitting at the panel table with the big boys. Knowing the rules of engagement is definitely a good idea, but I like to push the envelope :) Hi Des,

I now realize that to get a more dynamic panel discussion the moderator needs to be in contact with each panelist well in advance and get the wheels rolling towards a debate rather than a "what he/she said" session b. everyone needs to know the rules of engagement - I was at one session where a panelist tried to get a bit of a debate going and the person he engaged with took serious umbrage, so the rest of the session had a negative, not a productive, tension - think world championship wrestling not a pub fight Two things:
