Being an asshole is not a virtue. I don't see a reason to be mean or disrespectful to someone because they are fat.
And from what I can tell, no one is asking you to 'feel sorry' for them.
I think there is a line to be drawn as far as accommodations we make in public transportation and so forth, but I absolutely believe that discrimination and harrassment in the workplace should be penalized just like any other variety of bad behavior.
