Actually the question is ever so slightly confusing. Some people practice intimidation poorly. Others do it successfully. Gookin and Souza sure like to practice intimidation but don’t seem too adept for all the work they’re putting into it.
Wow Mike K- I believe we may have met at blogfest 09 but I know you have met Sam the Reporter, my son, and he spoke highly of you but he failed to tell me you have veins that pop out of your neck! Your neck veins made the Press today. I would frame that on my office wall:) How hilarious. You must be one scary man my friend and to think Souza was considering CPR. Oh and that poor Susie person - to think she was still and I quote, “shaking with shock and disbelief” after her encounter with you. My God man you must be good if Souza could actually see Susie still shaking over the telephone. Poor Susie probably is still in counseling for post traumatic stress disorder.
Sis: I know, and I like your response. I try to get the best out of people at times and you have never disappointed. I like your style, though I may disagree at times. Someday we will meet, my pleasure of course.
Intimidation in any form is an abomination. I don’t like it, I don’t practice it and I certainly don’t agree with it. Honest differences of opinion, couched in respectful tones? Yes. Those are legitimate. It’s those that would belittle, with sarcasm or slanted views that add to the anger of our nation.

Sis: I do speak sofly and carry a fairly large stick, but I would hate to ever think I was intimidating.

It was a hyperbolic joke my friend. I know we’ve never met but you strike me as one of gentlest people around.

INSTEAD OF MOST INTIMIDATING, I THINK YOU SHOULD GO WITH MOST NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FOR THE COEUR D ALENE AREA…I VOTE MARY SOUZA AS QUEEN

I wonder why people voted for DFO? I guess it must be because he’s the only one on the list who has threatened to throw people in the cooler.
