People get ticked off when they read articles like this, and tend to vent. If someone was screaming for him to die, be tortured, or sent to prison for ten years, I could understand your point about the use of language.
Seriously, B-man, I can't remember you ever acting like this. I understand you sympathize with shy men, but the man's behavior was not appropriate or acceptable, not to the students, not to the woman, and he pretty much made himself look like a creeper. Plus, again, he did this only six days into his new job. He knew his students for six days. How shy can you be when you're asking a group of teenage girls to run around the neighborhood and collect pretty women's photo's and phone numbers? That seems pretty damn bold to me.
