Thugs are everywhere in society. Just look how so many people sue someone when they don't get what they want - that's thuggery too - intimidation and threat through legal coercion. People don't have the courage or even brains these days to deal with things themselves, or be diplomatic and let things slide.
And to call Stuart a troll is nothing short of short sightedness, and a total inability to accept another person's ideas, beliefs and morals. To start calling him troll and requesting him to leave the forum is somehow not bullying or nonacceptance? Live the differences in life - you'll be rewarded for it. Argue against something you don't believe in, and agree to disagree. Don't resort to pettiness and childish rants.

And you believe that Stuart has accepted other peoples ideas, belief and morals. I really think you should go back and read his first contribution to this thread. I don't advocate violence and I don't really agree with some of the responses posted in this thread but I sure understand peoples initial response to the story and their view that a physical, albeit violent, retaliation was warranted to the situation...it's a natural initial human response..one that is shared by most but not shared by all. So respect is a two way street and I don't really believe Stuart has shown the same courtesy to others that he expects from them....just my 2 cents worth.
When we resort to name calling I think the argument/discussion/debate has run it's course.
