It might have been a good joke, at some other time. But yesterday was not that time.

Actually that's not quite true. At least in the American justice system intent can be the difference between a few years in prison or death row.

Although if it was intended as a joke, well...that's poor taste at the very least.

Still, when you have people here who are allowed to make personal attacks, snide remarks and who otherwise behave in an unconscionable and bullying manner, this guy being banned seems ridiculous at best.
