That's a total different story. if some random asshole throws a cup of beer at someone in the cinema intentionally for nothing at all, I wont give him a weird look when he slaps the dude.

You can't take a crowd of fans as "assholes" you ought to handle, cause they are fucking FANS. And Fans do stupid shit, I know what Im talking about.
The Goalkeeper of my football team, Oliver Kahn, for instance.. people always throw bananas at him. Still, no way he'd run up there all of a sudden and punch them dude, although he got some remarkable temper for a blond dude..

The Watcher:
i dont think being a fan is any excuse. the fans should still respect the players @ the end of the day, if they do shit to provoke them then they deserve to suffer the consequences. if that's the ass beating of a lifetime, so be it. if i threw shit @ a player, i wouldn't doubt that they'd give me a beating, which is why i dont do it

It's not about to argue whether the fan should be banned from the place or not, it's about that an NBA Player is NOT supposed to smack fans.
The suspensions are absolutely justified, the NBA isnt Ice-Hockey or American Football, it's about manners. That's why there are technical fouls and rules.
I agree being banned for over 70 games is some hardcore ban, 35 or so would've been enough, but maybe they also shorten the ban some time like somebody else mentioned.

And Ben shouldnt be banned for 10 games, he did some shit that just happens. Peeler did some harder shit towards Garnett by far, even without being fouled in advance. Was he banned for 10 games? So Wallace should be banned for 10 games, just because Artest totally snapped after it? That's not Wallace's business.

C-Swift:
Ron had the right to go after that fan but that fan should not have been acting like an asshole which got him what it got him: an ass-whooping

dexter:
