Ted,

Booing is a way of showing disfavor just as cheering is a way of showing agreement. Did you consider that Wolfie's comments might have been so offensive that the audience felt the only way to convey their displeasure was by booing?

When you invite someone to your university, a civilized behaviour is to treat the guest with respect, or not to invite him at all. But, the universities these days are the farthest thing from civility. Intimidation, intolerance of ideas other than university enforced political correctness are the norm.

Well, but there is a bright side. Even though the US universities practice Taliban light, as far as thought control, we have diversity of skin colors, ethnicities, language backgrounds, sexual orientations / positions, variety of tatoos, body piercing and other self mutilation. So its not all bad. <g>
