MR. DENIS DE VLAMING:
It’s wrong, what do
you take by that, Ms. X?
 
MS. X:
I see either verbal
comments, just the closeness, threatening gesture, or
threatening words, or words that are politically
sensitive, shall we say. Certain words should not be
used in front of certain groups of people, or it will
incite violence.
 
MR. DENIS DE VLAMING:
How about invading
personal -- well, I never thought of it that way, and now
that you say it, I understand it. In a physical sense,
invading your space. Ms. X, do you know what I
mean? I am a stranger to you, if I came up and got in
your face
——
MS. X: Touching.
 
MR. DENIS DE VLAMING:
Touching you. How
about getting real real close to you? You know, when you
are talking to somebody you might do it. You might talk
this way. “Get out of my face.” Yes, no? Yes? Ms.
X?
 
MS. X: I don’t like someone being so
close to me.
 
MR. DENIS DE VLAMING:
Okay. Ms.
X, have you heard that term, personal space?
MS. X: Absolutely.
