I don't think any apologies are necessary from either side. In fact, too many of us are obsessed with apologies.

This gentleman MachoSauce: the very trait that makes him as a conservative a point of light (his passion and energy) is the selfsame trait that gives rise to the comments he made about FR (exclusive). If we refuse to overlook comments he made in the heat of passion, we only validate the very things he said in the FR video. Consider that carefully.

I would agree in some cases, but not this one.

His response was way beyond a reasonable angry retort at FR for a banning that was an over reaction to a post that did fall outside the guidelines for what is appropriate here.

Not apologizing for basically accusing us of being a bunch of bigoted, racist, sexist snobs based on no evidence, would show a lack of character and common civility on his part.

I'm not saying he had no cause to be angry, he certainly did. But then he spoke in anger, not just to us, but for the entire world to see, and made outrageously viscous comments that were completely uncalled for and lacked any supporting evidence.

Most people would apologize in such a case. And I believe one is appropriate here.
