which is worse?

no exposure or the infighting that will ensue?

I am going with no exposure because I happen to think that some knowledge is actually being hashed out with the open dialogue that occurs when people are speaking with an open heart and mind. It can be very revealing.

It is messy and sometimes we could all possibly choose our wording more carefully but, I would rather have the mess than the silence.

just my opinion. your mileage may vary.
