I'm putting him On Notice

He was already put on notice, last month.  One-week tempban with possibilities of further sanctions.

I confess I'm very disappointed. I had hoped he'd have taken my friendly warning to quit spewing bile and keep a civil tongue.

Since he cannot, I support sterner measures. I'd like to put forth a rule modification for reviews stating that while strong opinions are fine, they should avoid naked hatred and be rendered in a civil and dispassionate manner.

As for whether his comments are a violation of hate speech laws under U.S. law, no, but just barely. Vile and mean yes, but his opinion, vile as it is, does not demand the incitement of violence against the targets of his ire, merely his contempt.
