Halt (physically) moving forward, be quiet, do not continue to eat, put an end to thoughts, put an end to existence, or are you referring to the thing on the floor that prevents a door from closing?
I know there are people who don't want to believe that another person could have a single thought that does not match their own, but it's true. Denying it only makes a person come across as intolerant of anything other than themselves and their own thoughts.
