8. 'Seeing where this was headed'?

I was not trying to 'head' debate in a particular direction, merely pointing out that not all 'tone' comments are the same or have the same specific agenda.

There are certainly plenty of people out there who actually want to see voices stifled entirely, and are willing to use 'tone arguments' as one tool among many to do so. So I'm not defending all 'tone' arguments or comments in the least.
