I read his original comments, they were in poor taste and he should be gone from here. If not forever then for quite awhile.

Those who did not read the original comments shouldn't realy comment on them.

As for the whole apology thing. There are those who constantly abuse people and make unwise remarks. Perhaps once is fine, not when it is done in a serial manner. Apologizing at that point is often not enough, and trying to be apologists for them is not enough. Grow up people, some of the two-facedness here is amazing to observe.
