I should have worded that better. What I was trying to say: stuff like this (whether it's at home or at work) is irrelevant to his accomplishments in the gaming industry.

While I don't think any of those reported actions is reason to label him as a bad person, I do believe that if a person is a verifiable asshole, he should not be given any kind of public recognition.

Assholes deserve nothing but shame and social ousting.

Like the Chris Benoit treatment?
