The original poster was called disgusting for using an insulin pen (which I think it's hard to be offensive with really). I don't think being upset by that was an over reaction. Nobody has the right to call someone that in a public place.
Not really..
People associate injecting with drug use.
Many people are made uncomfortable by injections and have issues with it, yes people may find injecting whilst others are eating disgusting.
Ergo..
If you're in a public place and choose to inject yourself you have to be prepared for a negative reaction.
Nature of the beast I'm afraid.
It certainly doesn't warrant a television show and a protest against "ignorance" as suggested above.
