That's not CG's problem, though -- it's the problem of the folks who'd get so mad as to get themselves banned over what he's said. Having been on the receiving end of a bit of that abuse myself, I can't work up much sympathy over a fella who says something dumb, and then loses his temper over being called on it, to the point of being banned.
I know from personal experience how easy it is to let your temper get the best of you at FR. And I've learned how, most of the time, to control my temper -- or at least to confine my temper to this side of the keyboard. It's a valuable skill, and it's too bad more folks can't learn it.
