Watching TV, PBS

  Well, "moderators" facilitate conversations...like make it possible to have conversations on TV.  The people conversating express themselves in the flow of the talking.  By listening we get a sense of the talking peoples' opinions and personality. 

  Sometimes people have opinions informed by learning and people also have like limits.  Like, I feel a certain way about something to a point.  Past that point I might feel different.  

  People even have opinions about what seems like solid topic.  Take nation for example.  There's a lot of opinions about that.  So a good moderator helps keep people on the topic and generally asks questions that aim to have people give opinions and maybe even explain their reasoning.  

  And in conversations sometimes people use strategy and techniques to argue.  So something like a forum is very interesting to hear.  It gives a chance for a diversity of people to voice stuff that matters.
