Assuming the role of the opposer does not mean to reject another view or belittle it in defense of one’s own opinion. The opposer is not keen on dismantling authority or attacking opponents. He does not see himself as the devil’s advocate who dissents methodically to come up with an antithesis to every position. The true opposer senses one-sidedness, lack of diversity and reductionism in the conversation. He feels moved to broaden the horizon, to add insight and to convey personal experiences that shatter the general mode of approval and complacency in a conversation. He is being emotional but is carefully putting his thoughts into words. His remarks are not regarded as assault, but rather as dedicated advocacy for of an idea that contradicts what has been said so far. Ping-pong debates can easily occur in the emotionally charged atmosphere that may arise between mover and opposer. To break the ping-pong pattern and to re-establish the quality of co-creativity demands the fourth role, the reflective role.
