To make a discussion function properly please organically form mini-groups. For example: Person A is the first person to post. Person B reads person A’s post and replies. Person C reads both of these posts and has something to add etc. Let’s say person D has a different subject within the same parameters of the original post topic. Person D can post a new thread, to which Person E, F, and G might want to jump in on.

Original posters: Cover this topic thoroughly and thoughtfully for your green check.

Reply posters, you have three options for the green check: 1. You can agree with the original poster but you must connect your thoughts back to the artist instead of talking in generalities, 2. You can bring a second (or third) artist into the mix for comparison or contrast, or 3. You can disagree and provide respectful and solid reasons as to why your opinion is different.
