Comment: His comment was offensive.  But in any procedure that has an ounce of due process, things like context, someone's past record & contributions, and contrition are taken into account.    

None of this matters to the social justice mob.  "I am offended" overrides decades of very meaningful contributions.

The mob will be what it will be unfortunately.  It is up to institutions to ensure we don't cave into it, we allow due process to dictate, and we push back to ensure important institutions don't succumb to the emotions of the day, and that we don't lose good people as a result.
