Wow. That had to be the worst attempt I've EVER seen of a guy trying to talk himself out of a hole. I honestly cannot believe how much work you put into finding a "slur" in another member's post. It just shows me how desperate you are to justify your comments.
You made an inappropriate comment. You got called on it. The original poster admits he was offended. At this point a real man says "Whoops, I screwed up. Sorry dudes". And then we all move on. Geez, how hard is that?
I'm locking this. Another one goes down in flames.
