    lol damn, someone is on a Witch Hunt. Just because people disagree with you, doesn't mean they are somehow your enemy. The dude made a mistake, was punished for it, feels bad about making the mistake. It's not up to you to decide WHY is is sorry for what he did, because only he knows that.

    You will lead a much longer and healthier life if you don't stress out about things like that.

    Never heard of this guy at all. Seems a very specific British thing.

    Really? You've never heard of Top Gear?

    This scandal has been all over the news and social media for the last couple of months.

    Yeah, mostly British. It's a show about cars. It was on American PBS so it has a viewership and some have learned about it on the Internet but overall most don't know the show. PBS isn't popular much.

    I've never watched a show, but I know about it.

    Arent you the one making all the "is it wrong for me to like/dislike <insert anything>?" threads? Good that you've found youself and are making other kinds of threads ^^

    I had a distaste for what he did when he did it, but now, its a bit late to still grudge it. He turnede himself in and lost his job, he apologised, not sure what else he could do except perhaps drive the dude to the hospital, but dunno if said punched dude would be Ok with it.

    Apologised, feeling sorry for something someone has done, does not mean what he did should be forgiven. I am glad that he lost his job, that shows that no one is invincible, just because he is a popular presenter does not mean he can punch a producer and get away with it.

    I am not sure is it a grudge, but I am glad the way things turn out.

    It's well known that Yorkshireman hate everyone, but reserve most of their ire for other Yorkshiremen - it's like Sunnis and Shi'ites or Sonny and Cher - and both Clarkson and Adam are Yorkshiremen.

    What's funny the guy admits it. He admits he was wrong, and accepted the punishment. The only people who seem outraged are the ones who seem to ignore these facts. Like you and the OP.

    He didnt get away with it, Even turned himself in and held himself accountable for his actions.
