"you have dramatically and obviously changed sides completely in this argument over the last 48 hours, while pretending you have always said the same thing." I disagree, greg. I am inclined to think that there is fault on both sides, and have been all along.

It seems likely to me that the people producing the play acted in a way that they anticipated would stir up controversy, in the expectation that this would attract protest and publicity. That doesn't in any way justify the threats and violence by protestors.

Just because one side is in the wrong doesn't mean the other side is in the right. That is true of an enormous proportion of conflicts.
