It is not easy to avoid tacit participation, because inaction can be participatory action; and it is often difficult to see what positive action can be taken to avoid the action of participatory inaction in the tacit dishonest games. In response to tacit invitations to participate in dishonesty, it is often helpful to speak the truth which the invitation invites us to ignore. Such speaking of the truth need not be confrontational. It may be offered in a matter of fact way which tacitly ignores the invitation to ignore the truth. Confrontation of an overt sort may invite a violent response. A counter- invitation to openly deal with the truth is not likely to elicit any explicit response, because participants in collusions are unable to deal explicitly with the truth spoken by Love.
