Being ignored as a punishment, well that seems a bit harsh.

By my definition of silence, time spent at the computer wouldn't count. My definition would mean that my internal dialog was also silenced. -This is easier said than done, but to be at the computer or even driving doesn't cut it for me. I think we feel exhausted after a long drive not because of the physical demands but the mental one. -It's far from a "silent" state imo. But to others it may be the perfect Zen. We're all different.

"the silent treatment" is a common passive-aggressive display of anger: passive, in that you are being silent; aggressive in refusing to allow discussion of a problem - or even admitting there is a problem. Brutal.
