I always thought that cross talk meant an open back and forth dialogue. Sometimes it happens by accident. Like when you ask a new-comer a question...."Do you have a sponsor?" I always assumed it was alright to comment on another person's share as long as you wait your turn.   Right or wrong?

I never heard of this as a term until I moved to NYC from eastern
Long Island in 1997. I first associated cross talk with talking
while someone else was sharing in a meeting but have since learned
it is associated with commenting on someone elses' share.

Heavens forbid if someone might say something to someone who is
sorely mistaken about something. How do people learn - from the
experience of others hopefully. AA isn't group therapy where dumping
out one's problems is any kind of a real solution. Perhaps a
suggestion by those who have gone down the pathe before us is in
order - but don't cross talk...

How do you all feel about it?
