Yup, if CA can ban this guy, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all.
Though during the RTW chat fiasco, I thought CA mentioned they had no way of identifying or actually banning a player from the gamespy server. There was some reason mentioned why they couldn't ban the few players doing much of the same as this guy is doing. If M2TW is set up differently, they may very well be able to permanently ban this guy's cd-key. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.
I DID notice tonight this person was online, and someone told everyone to avoid this guy's game and that he was spouting nazi nonsense. From what I saw nobody spoke to the guy, nor joined his game. When I got out of a game after it locked up at launch, the guy was gone.
I think if, we as a community keep this up, we can eliminate the problem outselves. If not, then we can ask CA, as a community and not just a few players, to get rid of this guy permanently.
However, if anyone resorts to mentioning the word "lawsuit" or "going to the media" I would expect CA to do a pre-emptive closing of the chat lobby like they did in RTW.
I would be willing to put my signature to a request to ban this person, since I personally abhor any type of hate speech.
