Your point seemed to be though that because SHINE in his day to day is a pretty cool guy who helps people with games, and just one or two times he was a prick, I'm being "overly negative" by focussing on those few negative incidents

My question, then - without a bad Spacey comparison - is where is the line? When is it ok to assign additional value to one or two negative things compared to generally being good over a sustained period of time?

I'd say the answer lies in your personal morals/ethics/feelings/whatever. To me, they were a series of dickish, insensitive posts that put me off him as a person because it wasn't the time or place for them. But I also remember some people finding them darkly funny and lightening the mood. Some others might like his honesty. Others might have no opinion on them. Others might find them a little insensitive but not to the same degree I did. That's fine; on that particular issue me and those people perceive things differently. Doesn't make me "better", I'm not trying to come off as high and mighty here. But I also don't think it means I focus too much on negative stuff, just that certain stuff crosses the line for me and certain stuff doesn't.
