So much strident and acrimonious criticism was directed at the press secretary for practicing plagiarism.

The debate grew increasingly heated, with one participant’s strident voice cutting through the room. His forceful, insistent tone made it difficult for others to get a word in edgewise, creating an atmosphere of tension and discomfort. While his passion for the topic was undeniable, the strident manner in which he expressed his views alienated some members of the audience, who felt overwhelmed by his aggressive approach. This stark contrast to the more measured, respectful exchanges among the other debaters highlighted the impact of delivery on the reception of ideas.
