A more practical and realistic example might be if Dale was living in an apartment, and Dale's mother walked out to the garage to get into her car, and the next-door neighbor started calling her the most vile and foul things...
This is far more realistic than your example, since the immediate neighborhoods where these situations develop are a better model for cypherpunks than the inside of one individual's home...
I disagree. This IS inside someone's home--both metaphorically and in reality. John has graciously provided us with a venue for our never-ending Cypherpunk salon. I think my example of an inappropriate guest in Dale's mom's livingroom is exactly on point. Just for the record, I would appreciate it if Dale would address my hypothetical, just in case other readers find it as cogent as do I.
