What troubles me is the complete lack of empathy for the guy, or the situation, by many members here.
I'm NOT condoning his reaction or behavior. He got upset, and said things that he should not have, and a temp ban is 100% appropriate.
But I strongly suspect that many other people on this forum, who create and contribute to the community, would also not react kindly to being falsely accused of stealing someone else's work. Have you ever been in that situation? It's not nice.
BOTH sides escalated the situation, and BOTH sides should accept some of the blame, and make amends, for the sake of the entire community. Otherwise you're BOTH ruining things for everyone.
Can you really not put yourself in his shoes? Just for a second? Have you never flown off the handle, ever?
It's easy to write the guy off. What's harder is looking in the mirror.
