Yesterday I presented a community talk and found myself facing real hostility- something I’ve never enountered previously. One of the audience recounted some of the ‘I know for a fact’ rhetoric and when I tried (politely) to explain the facts he told me in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t prepared to listen to [......] and walked out… Sign of the times I fear…
