I didn't add "ethnic" before slur, Baker did when he said "ethnic slur"...

Whata re you blathering about now? *what* person "in the photo"? I
saw no photo.

Who says it was hate inspired? I may use it as a bit of a 'jab' but
as nothing more than a nickname much as I do with Anal Baker, Sandy
the ass-flea, or Klingon Dinkleberry Troll.. If you are offended by
it in an ethnic way, I apologize and won't use it again. I have no
idea of your ethnicity so as to use it as such...

I didn't know that.
You know that it is an insult
I didn't know that either. I only knew it was a nickname and that I
never saw or read anything from you or anyone else about it when say,
Nashton used the term.

The only person I knew it was somehow offensive to was Baker, as he
always seems to make an issue of it. And frankly I'm glad it did
offend him. But I saw no reason for him to be offended as I never
used the nickname in reference to him, so frankly, I didn't give a
rat's ass if it bothered him.

Yes, it is safer to do so under anonymity, just as it is safer for
others to try and twist my words under anonymity, and provide insults,
and be nit picky. I'm a big boy and can take it...
