The Soapbox in a Soundproof Room is a collaborative invention between polite ranters and annoyed listeners. The polite ranters were concerned that their restrained diatribes may have a grating effect on people within earshot, and so they wanted to go to a solitary place. The annoyed listeners just wished that those ranters, polite or not, would go to a place where they couldn't be heard. A flash of inspiration later, the Soapbox in a Soundproof Room was invented.
