The more I think of this situation, its just stupid on both ends. Sure, Wenzel might have a frivolous lawsuit and he was offended. Nenshi should've just apologized though. Like I said before, you don't get to choose whether people are offended by your comments. It probably surprises no one that I've been in that position before: to this day I have no idea how I offended a particular person, but he was offended, so I apologized. I didn't think that I should have to, but that's not the point.
