If everything that matters was what we did in the past, nobody would ever be able to learn and to change. (I have no idea whether JR did, mind you. As I said, I don't know him. This is not about him and not even about his hurt feelings, it's a more general thing. About the internet and mobs and manners and how we all deal with each other.)
As far as I'm concerned I'm glad that the past is not the only thing that matters but that there are second and third chances in life.
And no, the nominees' Big Night should not be tarnished, I agree. I just didn't think this bloke had so much power. Hell, if I were a writer and knew that the host of an event might try to make stupid jokes at my expense, I'd prepare two or three clever answers, and that would be it. And if I didn't need them - all the better!
It's nobody's fault, but I'm getting a bit tired of the victim-attitude. "Oh, if this evil man is there, I won't be able to go there!" Why not? Go there and teach him a lesson.
