   First of all, this is not a news report. It is a comment: what we on   
   this side of the briny would call an op-ed piece. Any actual news   
   therein has been masticated out of all recognition. We have only   
   the unnamed commentator's opinion that these "sincere Xians" were   
   perfectly polite in their objection. I also notice that "told their   
   complaint was 'very close to a hate crime' " is your interpolation:   
   it does not occur in the actual comment. The most evident thing is that   
   the commentator has an axe to grind. He (or, as it may eventuate, she)   
   wants you to be angry.  Think before you stampede.   
      
   --   
   Cheers,   
           Elliott   
      
           I am no bigot; I am a misanthrope.   
           I hate everybody. Equally.
