I would prefer people asking pointed questions calling out Trolls during a Q and A session on their bullshit instead of simply shouting the Trolls down while they speak. Charlie Sykes did a great job at this when interviewing John Bolton and Paul Ryan recently. You don't think that's an acceptable alternative?

I do, but if you look into the specifics of this incident the Judge refused to answer pointed questions during Q and A and heckled the students asking pointed questions
I am saying have that Student ask that question without the preceding heckling. Let the judge give his speech, then have that student and a number of others ask questions challenging his views. If he refuses to answer, then he is the only one that comes out looking bad.
I agree, I think the prior heckling was bad. I don't think it full came across in my comment since I was focusing more on the meta of it, but my issue is framing this as a specific student problem and mentioning the judge's poor actions as barely an afterthought. And also the automatic deference we seem to give to right-wing trolls invited to campuses.
True, but he gets a pass (on answering) because he was heckled to begin with. Though I'd agree, he did his cause no favors by descending to the level of heckling back.
