Maybe you want them to shut down?
Maybe you don't?
...what are you trying to accomplish with all that criticism?

Negative delivery of messages is a bigger problem.
Oh...I see...how silly of me...I should have known you are too busy to listen.

'Telling' ain't halfway near what it's cut out to be. Reminds me of my early career when we had a Mel Sell and a Mel Tell. Actually it was probably Mel Tel but nobody ever wrote it. They just said it.
