  - Call it splitting hairs if you want, I don't care. - Strongbad Jan 10, 07:48 7
    - You've address "silenced", now address "minimize" and "intimidate", because that is also what is happening. - TWuG Jan 10, 07:53 3
      - I agree. - Strongbad Jan 10, 07:58
      - And, doesn't it all mean the same thing ? "Shut up."? -- nm - Andie Jan 10, 07:54 1
