I’ve observed moments like this. Blusterer claims momentary ownership of the room, and as the end of that brief moment approaches, it’s NOT over. And somebody responds and makes the most important point in a most powerful way: quiet. Nonviolent. Non-accusatory. And hardly what you could call confrontational. Like one of those cross-the-court baskets made from the other side of the playing field, which for anybody else might as well have been the other side of the planet!

LOVE this story of yours, madamesilverspurs!
