Anthony-V [to others at Right Table]: maybe play helps avoide personal conflict then the conflict that arises is from interaction, a more socially generated conflict when people butt heads w/ diff. ideas Marnie [to others at Right Table]: A-toid seems to suggest that play helps avoid/ diffuse conflict, but it feels like it creates conflict (and discomfort) as well Marnie [to others at Right Table]: Doesn't the electronic distance already create that freedom from (inter)personal conflict
Here, Tony brings up how he feels plays avoids conflict. Marnie notes that Albertoid suggests a similar function of play, but she argues it creates conflict as well. Marnie also suggests that the nature of a Moo environment diffuses conflict. Our response: In a Moo space, play gives a tonal element
that helps diffuse conflict in a serious, work-oriented discussion.
However, excessive play can also act as conflict/work avoidance
and prevent the possibility for conflicting ideas to come into
contact. |
