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.

Ann Coulter is hardly a model of either decorum or decency. She also referred to her audience as 'stupid', which is incitive and immature. If she genuinely has a message she wants to get out there, why is she so damned insulting all the time? She wants to provoke people, and she isn't remotely interested in dialogue.
