I shouldn't be posting, but I'd like to put my two cents in, if I may.
I've known Gibbles for quite awhile. He's been on the servers for some time, and the times I've played with him, he's been a great guy. I think that it was a rare occurance that his trigger finger got itchy. As for what he said, I can't back that up. All I know is, he's a good guy, and let a bad thing slip out. We all make mistakes, and it's a good thing that he's apologized for it.
I'm glad to see that type of persona in you, Gibbles!
