In this vein, I would like to bring back the famous Stooge's eyepoke for Coulter.
What do you think?
The problem is history or not, if someone random person pied me, I would probably respond with violence. White pieing maybe humorous, and believe me I thought it was funny as hell, it is still assault. By attacking someone even in such a harmless fashion, you take the conflict out of the verbal realm and move it to the physical.
I am probably biased on this because I cant stand for strangers to touch me. I have a highly defined sense of personal space. I figure i would have gone ballistic in a similar situation.
