I find that discussion is often viewed as a circular firing squad mostly by the people that simply like to be heard. Discussion involves back and forth. For some, the moment the back and forth starts, it is considered a circular firing squad. It is simply the fact they don't want to listen, just be heard. This is discussion and debate. It can often look like a circular firing squad, and a select few debate in a manner that would lead to that outcome. Some will even go down before the end. But most of us will be sitting here in a year continuing to fight for progressive principals. The exact opposite of a circular firing squad.
