- We welcome all ideas for discussion.
- We speak our minds and we listen carefully when others do the same.
- We think- and talk - beyond the book.
- When we disagree, we stick to the point.
- We look at situations in books and topics in discussion from every angle.
- We look for evidence to back up our ideas and opinions.
- When we get angry, we stay quiet or leave the room until we cool off.
- Everyone is welcome, even if they haven't read the book.
