Frankly I think he just sounds like the bitter old man he is. At least the TPB guys are idealistic in a cute way, but Cherwonik just seems self-entitled and grumpy.

I might add that the continuous allegations of bribery and corruptness does not really help his case.

Agreed... I think his punishment is ridiculous, but his own justifications are equally so. He comes off like a whiny teenager who's been caught sneaking out with the car. And I don't think his "I bet I paid a thousand or so for hosting" complaint is going to win him any sympathy. To the uninformed, that's just going to sound like a burglar complaining to the judge that burglary tools cost money.
