I think this relates to the least satisfying part
of IBIS for me at the moment, which I'm sure can be overcome. Currently if a
participant challenges an arguement I'm using what Jeff suggested in a Dialog
Mapping training course to link a question node to the arguement with the text
"really?", then an idea node with "yes or no" and then a pro or con node with
the counter evidence. I don't like the adversarial feel to this, given how good
Dialog Mapping is at creating collaboration. It also uses precious space. It may
not disrupt the group, but it disrupts me as the facilitator which has a
knock-on effect to the group. Has anyone tackled this differently?
