Manipulating silence --- Perverse as it may be, and as much as I dislike being on the receiving end of having to interpret someone´s silence, I must admit to having used this tool more than once, both professionally as personally. Silence can be both cruel and very loud ("speak volumes"), depending on the circumstances. I certainly look forward to reading more on this subject and I wonder if everyone hates meaningful silences as well, or if some actually find it a relief.
