[Vision2020] Showing the true intolerant one

[g. crabtree]

I don't see where it says anything about "stopping" the silly nonsence that 
Doug & co. observed, just making fun of it. This seems like a perfectly 
reasonable response to such a sight. Hell, it seems like a reasonable 
response to almost any sight. Wheres the intolerance?
