We've got a bunch of books being burned. We don't have people being burned. I don't think it equates.
I love books. If other people want to burn their copies, they have that right. I love the US. If other people want to burn the US flags they own, they have that right.
As for not being in dialog...they have that right. I don't want to talk to them either.
If you want to complain about the way they exercise their rights, then you have that right. The publicity is probably what they are looking for. It ensures that a lot of people know how outraged they are.
If they ever come and burn my copies...now they'll have problems.
