I read a thread over on DS about this and there were some good points raised...

This is the first time I've ever noticed this kind of thing in a BB or CBB before. It seems like when someone wants to have a conversation, they want to conduct it like a formal meeting where everyone takes turns to talk, and any interruptions are jumped upon for being rude.

Also, hand gestures etc. are interpreted as aggression.

What planet are these people from? In my extensive experience of conversation with others, there is plenty of interrupting and back-and-forth. It's how most of us conduct a conversation.
