Talk:intimidating

Not just "threatening"

The page currently only has one sense: threatening.

Here's a different example: I'm studying science, I go to a convention, there are various discussion rooms. For some, the door is open, you can take a peek before entering, for others you have to open the door and walk in. Knowing the topics, in the former, you know the room will be mostly beginners discussing projects looking for new contributors. For latter, you know there's a serious core group, they mostly know each other, and they are trying to resolve specific things.

I'd like to go into the latter, just to listen, but it's pretty intimidating. "threatening" doesn't fit. Gronky (talk) 09:58, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
