As I said, it was not so much the joke but the aggressive reaction after someone told you they found it offensive. 

Offence is subjective, what doesn’t offend you does offend someone else. You made what someone considered to be an inappropriate joke, they told you as much. It should’ve ended there, but you tried involving people by aggressively grabbing them, being threatening and generally overreacted by being aggressive toward everyone around you. 

Not only that but you then come on the forums and call two people you were aggressive toward by name and call them cocksuckers and snowflakes. 

In my opinion you really need to look at your reaction here, and decide if it was constructive or destructive. Leggy said this has been blown way out of proportion, and I agree - but it has been done so by you. 

I think this sums up best what occurred - not that I was there. But from what I've read over the last few days it seems the offence was taken at the joke and KH's reaction to said offence is what has escalated this so dramatically. I don't get where you (KH) think that threatening to physically harm someone is the best (smartest) way to end an verbal conflict?
