When naysayers challenged her thinking, many in the crowd applauded to cut them off, or repeatedly shouted "Ask the question!" when critics tried to offer a counterpoint.

Yes, we did cut them off because it was not a debate and they were not the featured speaker. It was a Q & A. The author made her presentation and then she stayed to answer a few questions. If they would have presented their objections in a question form they would not have been cut off.

Not to mention that one of the guys who was "cut off" (after preaching a lot of ridiculous comparisons of WWII Japanese to Jesus and his followers) refused to give the microphone back to the host, and tried to physically escape his grasp.

No mention of that little stunt in this piece.

I hate the media.
