Indeed. And also we're just accepting her word that it he called her a "fat ass" twice. Now I'm not suggesting that he didn't but the video footage doesn't show that. It merely shows us someone filming another person on the street (presumably) without their permission, which is all a little bit creepy. This whole 'trial by social media' circus that we have nowadays is really quite worrying. Contacting his employer or university is outrageous. I'd probably say that filming someone and posting their image all over the internet without consent is far worse so perhaps someone should be contacting her employer too.

I know what you mean.   Jon Ronson's book 'So You've been Publicly Shamed' (really interesting) has a good example of two guys at a tech conference giggling about the name of a new device (it was called a dongle or some such, you can imagine.)  A woman who was sitting in front of them  turned around and took a photo of them and then posted a complaint on line.  They lost their jobs.  But then there was a splash back on her - I think she lost her job as well.  Live and die by the internet.

A weird thing that happened to someone I slightly know:  on a college alumni forum,  a middle-aged alumnus posted what he thought was a mildly amusing mea culpa story.  Older generations from this college, when they recognised someone else from the college, would cheerfully shout 'F*** [name of college]'  as a greeting.  He was in NYC and saw a young woman wearing a sweatshirt from our college.  He shouted out 'F*** [Name of College which was also on her sweatshirt.]'   She didn't laugh or smile as he expected but looked terrified.  He wrote that he realised that probably wasn't an acceptable greeting anymore and if the person he'd shouted at was on the forum he apologised.  He didn't hear from the person he shouted at, but another poster took screenshots of his story and sent them to his employer asking if they really wanted someone who shouted swear words at women working for them.   The guy wasn't fired but had an awkward conversation with his boss.  And deleted his membership of that alumni group, so that he never posted there again.

I think there are exceptions where getting receipts and reporting are appropriate but others....not so much.  Online I saw someone complain about a private conversation they heard in a theatre where two people who worked in theatre were discussing (it seemed) some frustration/annoyance they had with the demands of attempting (or being asked to attempt) to attract diverse audiences and a lot of the responses were 'name and shame'!   A private overheard conversation with an unknown context...??

This is very true. And we have certainly seen recently - with the James Gunn situation - how easily someone with motivation can present something taken out of context as ‘proof’ and have it believed. I still see people saying he shared a link to child porn when in actual fact the video was of a choir singing a song called ‘I touch myself’ - it was misleadingly named as a joke, which was an incredibly common form of internet humour at the time. Bad taste humour, it is true, but emphatically not child porn. I’m sure some of us remember that extension of the rickroll craze.

Oh I'm with you on that. If I see one more pretentious wanker check in at Summerhall on FB I won't be responsible for my actions. 

Heres an opinion I seem to be on my own with, triggered by a comment in the 'post-show eateries' thread...
Eating a large meal after 7/8pm is not enjoyable and (in my tiny mind) absurd. I don't get how people can go out for food at 10pm and then go to sleep.
People in work give me funny comments when I get my 'tea'/(dinner) at 5/6pm, as to them thats far too early.

Early eater here too I also don't think it's healthy or contributes to good sleep if the body needs to deal with digesting heavy food that late when it's ready to sleep.

Another one here! Not only am I not good company if not fed, 10pm is indeed bedtime not feeding time.

I work at night, from 11pm to 7am, so my eating habits are f*cked up. I have "breakfast" at 2pm when I wake up, have a big meal around 8-9pm and then a sandwich or a piece of fruit around 5am.

I'm with all the early eaters; much better for your digestion, too, as some have pointed out, though all theatregoers must be used to sometimes having to eat at odd times to fit in with their bookings.

When I first started working shifts (back in 1984), I got into bad eating habits without realising it as a group of us would go to the staff restaurant around midnight and you could order anything 24/7, so I'd always go for a burger and chips. Six months on I realised I couldn't continue like that and had to do some tweaking. I also used to get home from night duty (and a long swim at the pool en route) absolutely ravenous and would eat anything and everything I had in the house. At least theatre-going isn't quite so damaging to your dietary health but it still needs managing.

I'm starting to find some Status Quo songs enjoyable.

Baz. I do not get why some folk become excited by him and his news (or lack of it if you ask me)

Ahh yes a celebration of the burning of catholics ...
