I still dont see how that makes it okay to punch someone. And no, it wouldnt make me happy if he'd pushed the guy. I dont believe anyone has the right to punch or push anyone, for any reason short of being assulted by the other person in the first place.

I'm sure this story isnt true at all. I'm merely saying that I dont agree with people who're saying the man deserved it, or it's okay, because I dont believe it is. It'd have pissed me off if anyone did it, no matter what their profession is. I dont see how it's an inspirational story, because I dont see how it's a good thing to assult someone who has a different view. It's certainly not like I agree with the fictional professor, I just dont think its okay to assult someone.
