FW: Our kickin' sitchyashun

["Alan Partridge" <apartridge@turbonet.com>]

You've taunted us with the same dread and morbid curiosity as if we saw
a rabbit grazing on a patch of grass between a set of railroad tracks
while a train charges from the distance, and the rabbit has leapt well
out of the path. The situation leaves us all feeling that the rabbit let
us down. Why should we feel poorly for an experiment that went so wrong
in its development phase? I think that all of us who feel upset that
eevans won't satisfy this curiosity in us should let this topic go. I
did try to use the voice of reason. 

I think you're trying to be clever. When you go to work or home or
whatever you do, you probably think that your mates will say "how
insightful", or "we are better people" but in actual fact, there will be
a rather long and embarrassed silence.

Eh? You did not read between the lines properly. At all. Not even a
little. You 
did demonstrate an amazing ability to make things up about people you
don't 
know. I don't mind if you battle against your own inventions, just don't
drag 
me into it.

Anyway, you _did_ bristle against my little thought experiment (quite a
lot!). 

So here it is again in the generalized form. A scenerio to think about,
that I 
have no intention to act out.

What if a bunch of guys heckled a fellow out of a diner because they
disagreed 
with his religion? Legal? Intolerant?
