I don't think anyone "shouted down" you or anyone, as all you can do is type a post and it comes out at the same volume.
Back in January, I was at Eastleigh Airport catching a flight to Edinburgh. The squad were there at the same time flying up to Manchester the day before the Utd game. They split into groups in the departure lounge. Lallana leading the yoof. SRL, KD and the oldies. The Spanish speakers and.... Forren, who sat on his own reading his I-phone and then wandering lonely to the back of the queue and not speaking to any of the others.
Possibly reading too much into this at the time, but it was very noticeable.
