I do think the comments, not just the bat one, are over the top. I don't think the comparison is valid. With one, said person was being violated in no way. The other, people are legislating away human rights. I am not stating approval. I am saying one is being provoked to the point of abuse being written into law, the other offensive comment was more for kicks. I am also starting to think banning SKP might have been harsh. Not that your or anyone cares or asked. But I have made comments in support of the banning. Even most of the outspoken SKP support here have said SKP underwent changes. I saw some asking him to back off a little before the banning. It is clear they needed a break. By choice or by admins. I have read to many good posts of theirs over the years to dismiss them. That is not advocating for the language SKP used, just as I wasn't advocating for the language the op is directed toward.
