What Smeagol Said About silence
I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: silence has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.
silence is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

The Goblin Verdict on silence
After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, silence has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
