There are those here at FR that use those tactics to silence others.
Equally stunning...
Such as the double post, correct tittle FRmorality police?
True, I have seen it here. I have seen it everywhere, as a matter of fact.
That said, I think it is one thing to use those tactics as a result of personal failing and weakness, and quite another to hold them up as something to aspire to use deliberately to reach a desired goal.
