As far as the woman being treated scornfully, I don't think that has anything to do with the fact that she disageed with ToE, but with her means of expressing it. We have our disagreements, but if either of us expressed them in the manner and terms this woman did in the classroom I think we'd be justifiably banned/suspended and given a well deserved pounding by the forum membership for it.
Her behavior has nothing to do with the discussion.
