Intimidation: It's all a matter of context.

So let's see if I've figured out the CPC ground rules here:

• Intimidating into silence pro-global-warming scientists: OK.


• Intimidating into silence anti-global-warming scientists: Bad. Very bad.


• Intimidating into silence wayward and, due to their overwhelming wankery and assholitude, potentially embarrassing CPC cabinet ministers: Fuckin' A!

Apparently, it really is an issue of context after all.
