Personally I feel it was the usual over-sensitive type set on making an example of anyone who dares express an opinion different to theirs. An old man was an easy target?

Oh fcuk that. When that old man approached me in the doctors he held his fist two inches from my face and the things he shouted in my face were disgusting and inexcusable. Am I supposed to excuse his actions because he's just an old man stuck in his ways?

No, that sounds different as he was being physically threatening. However the way that made you feel makes it difficult to remain unbiased on this in my opinion.

Not at all. I was surrounded by a lot of elderly people all waiting to see a doctor and they cheered me challenging him. I would never tar the elderly with the same brush as him.
