No doubt Isaiah's f-bomb that he blasted at T.R. Knight on the Grey's Anatomy set, and then repeating at an awards show, were two examples of highly offensive and obnoxious behaviour. However, Mr. Washington really did pay a meaningful price by having to deal with enormously negative publicity etc. As a gay man, I despise the kind of hateful epithet that Washington aimed at Mr. Knight, but considering he was shown the scorn of the world, I think taking his job away is kinda overkill.
