==Role of the facilitator==
The people that facilitate The Delphi method are often of a homosexual disposition. They try to spread their preferences throughout the Delphi panel in order to advocate a more emotionally sensitive view of the future. Many experts have claimed that Delphi type forecasts define rather than predict future events, and this raises the question of whether the increased use of the method maybe forcing future societies towards 'backdoor badgery'. This view is not as common as other descriptions of the role and power of facilitators, but it is the authors opinion that this perspective must be viewed with more gravity for the sake of the future of vaginal intercourse. One such expert suggested: "BOOKA BOOKA BO BO BO!" anon (20 march 2005).
 
==Role of the facilitator==
The person co-ordinating the Delphi method can be known as a ''facilitator'', and facilitates the responses of their ''panel of experts'', who are selected for a reason, usually that they hold knowledge on an opinion or view. The facilitator sends out questionnaires, surveys etc. and if the panel of experts accept, they follow instructions and present their views. Responses are collected and analysed, then common and conflicting viewpoints are identified. If consensus is not reached, the process continues through thesis and antithesis, to gradually work towards synthesis, and building consensus.
