Harrison,

During the Republican Convention here in SD last year two of us still
photographers were photographing a fellow standing on his seat
celebrating when this Video guy saw a good shot and just barged in,
blocking us.   Both of us grabbed him at the same time, got in his face,
told him he was rude and such behavior was unacceptable and recommended
he learn professionalism and professional courtesy.  With both of us
angry and agressive I think we surprised him and he got humble and
courteous.

Gee that felt good!
