Criticism of what? On what basis?
Having been at the butt-end of charges that I 'intimidate',
I tend to agree with the view that if you're not prepared to
stand by and defend what you say, yes, you should keep quiet,
and definitely not use some other distraction, intimidation,
or some other emotional appeal to insure, a priori, that you're
not going to get any feedback or dissent.
It's exactly what the passive-aggressives do, and it's been my
entire objection to Mr. Ed, since it's been his end-game
since the beginning.

More bullshit.
When you or Ed moan, it's peer pressure.
When others moan about Ed, it's a lynching.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
