You seem stuck on this view (promoted by Kevin himself) that all he was doing was pointing out uncomfortable truths. While I do not think he should have been banned based on anything I saw, I doubt you will find anyone who will deny that he was obnoxious and aggressive at the end. It went way beyond saying things people "couldn't handle." (Well, apparently some people couldn't handle it, enough so to run to Michel, but that's a whole different subject).

Please understand clearly that I do not agree with the banning. Since you weren't here, though, I just want to caution you not to accept the uncomfortable-truths hypothesis uncritically.
