Probably not worth a submission of its own, but the Twitter-er said it all far better than I: http://therationaliser.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/the-peacock-problem

Probably not worth a submission of its own, but the Twitter-er said it all far better than I: http://therationaliser.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/the-peacock-problem-response.html http://therationaliser.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/the-peacock-pr... And the original speaker comes off defensive and simultaneously pleased with himself in his response: http://www.jamiebgall.co.uk/the-peacock-problem-response/4581250090 http://www.jamiebgall.co.uk/the-peacock-problem-response/458... If he can't see that adolescent boys will generally not be on their best behaviour, and will almost always take rebuke from a stranger on a stage -- that they don't even want to be in the audience of -- as a challenge to be met with volume...well he doesn't get it. Ironically, perhaps, he's running the same game as the adolescents in his defense of his actions. I didn't do it, you misunderstood, it wasn't that bad, so what anyway, eff off if you disagree, I'm a great speaker so you're obviously wrong, etc. (Also, did he mean Qatar the country with stellar womens' rights, where he was invited to give the speech again, after his performance?)
