So, receiving a whisper, OOC or otherwise, breaks your meditation. This has been a thing for a long time. Can it perhaps be made not to?
It's a frustration and not under the meditator's control, short of just leaving the area of persons who might choose to whisper (either intentionally disruptively or who have missed that you've started meditating and are continuing a private conversation, etc).

You think to yourself, "This deal is getting worse all the time."
