The guy literally cannot say anything without the pack biting at his ankles.
I'm part of no pack if I see something I find genuinely objectionable I'll say so, I'm not very thick skinned so may react more strongly than some, dunno others would have to judge that.
His largely ignorant and badly executed trolling is one thing but making those kind of remarks about those who have sadly passed on is several steps too far IMO.
The fact that he is on the BL staff makes a great deal off difference to me, IMO that precludes you from being deliberately inflammatory or downright offensive especially when your doing so outside of the forum over which you preside.
If you don't have an issue with it fine, but it's clear quite a few people do. I'm sure we can all respect each others view without descending into the petty squabbling OTW is so clearly wanting to bring to our happy corner of BL.
