A topic was raised
on a writer loop
I belong to.
For the first couple of days,
the discussion was semi-useful.
People thought about their contributions.
Different opinions were shared.
Over a week later,
the conversation is a waste
of many people’s time.
The same opinions are being shared.
People are talking
for the sake of talking.
This happens
with almost all conversations.
Decide upon a length of time
or the breadth of the conversation,
then thank people
for participating
and end the discussion.
Some participants might grumble
but most will thank you.
End conversations.
