Rudeness spreads to theaters

On her Facebook page, Christa Hazel comments about an impromptu showing of bad behavior at a local movie theater:

"When did it become standard operating procedure to be politically aggressive for all to note? Can't even sit through a movie trailer without eruptions of booing over a new global warming Al Gore documentary. The boos were then answered with cheers as though there might be a throw down. It's disappointing. I'm not going to debate global warming. People are certainly entitled to their opinions. Just irritated that what was once considered rude is now encouraged to publicly show your dedication to agenda. PS Dunkirk was fabulous!!"

Question: I'm beginning to think that people of good will need to start calling out the angry boors that are dividing society. Thoughts?
