Shit like that only happens on the internet.
If you were in a crowded room of strangers, you wouldn't make that statement for everyone to hear, you wouldn't make an abortion joke, you wouldn't mock someone who had committed suicide earlier in the day, and you wouldn't make Michael Jackson child molestation jokes. At least a normal person wouldn't.
And in real life you were drunk/abnormal enough to actually say one of those things on it and someone said they were offended, the mob wouldn't come rushing to the speaker's defense, and the speaker would be a gentleman and apologize.
But it's the internet. Different rules.
Once on the city paper board (remember that one???) I referred to someone (don't remember who) as a date raping mullet-head. I suffered the WRATH of the women on that board. I was completely shocked. That said, the comment that started this whole thing was miniscule by comparison. I can't believe we are still talking about it.
Or maybe we are not talking about it anymore.
Lighten up, Francis!
