I am reasonably certain there is a legal precedent for getting away with manslaughtering someone for loud-talking in one of the quiet floors of the library during finals.

You need to talk to someone for a few minutes? Okay. You need to discuss something quietly? Do it quickly, and we won't have a problem. If, however, you need two hours to discuss one problem (and concerts, and how drunk you were last night), then:

A) You are not going to suddenly, magically, Get It, and,
B) People are going to look the other way when I beat you to death with my shoe.

Some people didn't go to libraries enough as a child.

...Is it bad that my immediate thought was that if you started in on the person with highlighters etc., everyone would probably join in? And that I would throw mine in the order of most out of ink till least out of ink?

Even without prior library experience, it's common sense, people. This floor isn't quiet so that you can do your group work, it's quiet because it's a quiet floor.

I'm not bitch at all. :)

If you have the requisite intent, it'll be downright murder, not manslaughter. Now don't you wish you didn't make this post? No more deniable plausibility, boo. ;D

The person(s) sound unbelievable. So did you eventually tell them off, or do you have a stern hair-netted librarian who did that for you?

Curses. What if I said I only intended to beat a little common sense into them? (Seriously, people, it is not a quiet floor because we were being considerate, just in case you wanted to do your group studying up here.)

I didn't end up telling them off -- I gave the group of them (they swelled to seven) my best bitch face, which shut them up for a while. They started up again in a bit, and I was about to go talk to them when someone else did. After which point, they were even louder.

Lord knows I couldn't find it in my heart with judge you as guilty.
