Like John Wayne I take no guff. I would add "so shoot me" but wouldn't want you to waste a bullet. Communication in Chris' model, takes into account the speaker and the listener. Where and how we enter or don't is a personal choice we all make to contribute to the quality of the conversation. Group dynamic develops when the group can begin to work efficiently and effectively given the make up. Maybe we are all doing the best we can given the circumstances, but I think going after each other or pointing out perceived faults of others contributes to the dynamic deterioration and presents barriers to a higher quality communication. We can waste our time flinging muck, or get on with the discussion.
