Silence isn't always agreement. Sometimes people no longer argue because they no longer care.

It is extremely important to be able to make negative assertions. We must be able to say what is ‘not me’ in order to have a ‘me’. What we like has no meaning unless we know what we don’t like. Our yes has no meaning if we never say no. My chosen profession has no passion if ‘just anyone would do’. Our opinions and thoughts mean very little if there is nothing we disagree with.

Woe to him who offends a patient man who has just reached his limit.

I don't think there's any conflict at all between what the hurricane center was saying and what we're saying.

We're looking at it saying, is this something that Greg's image goes with, or something that would cause conflict?

I would say that definitely yes, it's possible to finish the conflict and reach a reasonable agreement in not too long a time so long as there is talk between the sides.
