For what it's worth, I'm backing Max. It's a shame, but if it has to be done, then it has to be done. We wouldn't stand for that sort of behaviour in the pub or the library or any other place we go to meet friends and/or get information: rude noisy people would soon find themselves in the street. Since we can't easily eject offensive people from the Cat, barring them entry seems like the only solution; it's a pity if it keeps out proper visitors.
