I disagree, but that's really neither here nor there.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised by the responses here... to me they smack of an overwhelming naivety. Paulp compared the owner of the website to a Nazi. The owner banned him.

If you think that's extraordinary behavior, I suggest you spend a day walking into businesses, asking to speak to the owners, and then calling them names including "Nazi." How many owners do you think will toss you out? If you think it is less than a significant percentage, you're wrong.

Call your boss a Nazi, and see if you get fired.

*shrug* This is the way the world works. Walk into someone's backyard and call them names, and they will often ask you to leave. If you don't like it, feel free to diatribe about it in your LiveJournal.

You miss one step here. Mason demanded private and public apologies when there was nothing to apologize for. Mason knew Paul would never apologize, because Paul is not desperate enough to pretend to be sorry for something there is no reason to be sorry about.

If your boss demanded that you get naked in front of him or you would be fired, and you naturally refuse, did you then ask to get fired? If you then say something derogatory on the way out, is that to be used to motivate the firing?
