And there is a time and a place. Coulter didn't storm off. She went straight to Q&A. Why? So she could just debate the people who weren't going to let her speak.
The issue is one of respect. Moonliner, I have always thought I was right on pretty much everything (as everyone who been reading my posts over the last few years in whatever forum will testify to). However, I would never even consider being so rude as to shout down anyone who was invited to speak. As a student, are you not to learn? How can one learn without listening? If one does not wish to learn, don't inhibit others from doing so.
It's an issue of respect. Of decorum. Of common decency.
