I haven't followed this story at all. Were they just clapping normally in agreement with something someone said or were they being disruptive with their clapping?

Holding someone for 8 hours for disruptive clapping would also be ridiculous.

But what if the clapping hurt my feelings or made me scared I won’t get my way?
