Maybe both, Vic.

By "converging", I mean to try to comprehend each other' s view, in good spirit, faith, trust and deliberate in a civilised manner.

This in not what many native English speakers would recognise as "convergence",  Parla.  

I can't think of one word for what you outline here, but I know what you mean and acknowledge the sentiment.

Vic.

You're right, Vic. This is my interpretation of convergence to make the juxtaposition of "diverging" (the different expressed views), when hostility, mistrust, abusive or foul language prevail in our exchanges.

Thanks for acknowledging the...sentiment.

All the best.

Not heard from Atonal since his four letter word outburst last week, is he in a Betty Ford clinic.

Maybe the "fire brigade" used to throw oil on the fire, instead of water, Tagalie.

Anyhow, we keep learning.

You're absolutely right, I should just ignore you. 99 times out of 100 you end up pouring gasoline over yourself anyway.

I couldn't have said it better, DF. But he ain't going to listen.
