I haven't seen the 'etc' but I would not consider the above remark to be even remotely close to the sort of thing that would cause me to urge an arbiter to recuse from a case. It was _not_ an RfC, it _was_ a rant by a known troublemaker. Checking outrage at the door and avoiding hyberbolic screaming _are_ good ideas.
