Exactly. He then was free to say "Oh, I didn't say that." Perhaps not, but then why was he quoting it? If he disagreed, why repeat the offensive quote in the first place? That he knew it was offensive is evidenced in his "sorry if this offended" disclaimer. It's a cheap shot, a way of posting insults without taking responsibility for being insulting. The thing is, have the courage of your opinions and convictions. If he does dislike slash so much (as seems to be the case -- and as is certainly his privilege), why not have the balls to say so, rather than using insulting remarks from random strangers?
