I don't think that's fair at all.
Obviously not everyone agrees on his method or his enthusiasm, but on the
other hand, not everyone agrees with the treatment he got either.

Strangely enough, I'm a participant of both groups :)
The happening here last week is a demonstration in how not to do things in a
democratic society.

Let this be a lesson for us all, to treat people with respect - even if and
when we think they haven't earned it.
