You could argue that he crossed a line, the problem is we will all have our own opinion of where that line should be.
We have judges and a whole legal system to tell us where the line is in the 'real world'.
Is the person that dished out this punishment to GG the correct person to make decisions on when it is time to punish someone?
Remember we are not talking about being banned or told off by a mod but real world actions that have real world consequences.

You speak as if all of our jobs are make believe and have no real world existence. Shit stains like GG contribute to REAL LIFE losses for intellectual property owners. That is the real world, and it is fitting to see him dealt with in the same manner.
It is not just his comments, it is everything he stands for and believes in that insults and harms our industry (and others). As another poster said above, there is no difference between being a terrorist and supporting terrorism. In the eyes of the law, you are the same. The same applies to piracy.
I'm sure GG's boss isn't very happy knowing his employee supports the theft of his product and very well may be pirating their products, which there is a good chance he is.
You reap what you sow.
