OK, I finally treakcd down the story about the swingers and the card; I'm not a regular Skepchick reader so I missed it. Obviously Mr. Rustle is most familiar with it.Yeah, that card was inappropriate. They handed it to her and walked away. It was a bizarre thing to do and highly out of joint. Even if it was a  joke  as the couple claimed later, it was a tasteless one and not particularly funny. It's something that shouldn't have happened, and quite honestly if they did that to me, I'd shout  WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS?!??! And I think her blogging about it was rather heated but at the same time, justified. It's inappropriate, she considered herself to be working, was there to do a job and didn't appreciate being viewed as a sex object, etc.It's my sense of proportion there. If she had been in a hotel bar or some other place where these hookups happen, I'd say screaming at them to fuck off is melodramatic. At a conference where you're working well, screaming at them to fuck off is still melodramatic. The best thing to do is talk to those who run the conference.It may be best for Mr. Rustle to stay away from skeptical events, as his reaction to everything seems to either be screaming or pistols at ten paces. No sense of proportion!
