I'm not sure how appropriate the term 'unilaterally' is in this 
context, but there's nothing wrong with moving a discussion in or 
out of TBAY.  If a person with whom you've been discussing a theory 
responds in TBAY style, you can follow him into the 'Bay or respond 
in non-TBAY style to his TBAY.  Either one is perfectly acceptable, 
as long as you remember to add or remove the TBAY prefix as 
appropriate.
