I can't say I'm bothered by what this pastor is doing. I mean, if you don't like it, find another church. What's the big deal? I think he's an ass, but that's a different issue.

For some people, their local church and pastor are the center of their life. Some don't have the option of going to another church (transportation issues, etc.). It's like a second home, and for them to be told they're not welcome at that second home would probably be tremendously upsetting.
I agree with you on your first point though; at least that's the way I understood it.
