Not surprised, I've heard rumors about him being a jerk before and he kind of looks like a smug douchebag.

This is just dumb. These Tweets were from 6-8 years ago. I guess it's too much to assume that someone can have a checkered past which they can grow out of.

That's a shame. I enjoyed his character of Ralph Dibney, and thought he did a great job playing him. His name reminds me of the phrase "heartily sorry" from our Catholic Act of Contrition, and that's the way he sounded in his apology. I'm not in favor of punishing people for things they said years ago. I believe in forgiving people who are genuinely sorry.

Sad state of affairs.
