Reply To: Is “shushing” the “shusher” nekama?

Boca – I think pshat of what you cite bshem Rav Miller is that a talker needs someone to engage in conversation with. To stop the neighbor – by not engaging with him in conversation (“stop talking yourself”) he will also stop talking (no one to talk to).

Any thoughts about Stop the Talking in eateries – which is neged halacha (to talk while eating – it is a sakana), yet many ignore the halacha? Is it ok to shush in eateries?
