Rich,

I never said Jay was being racist. I said it was offensive to 7-11 employees. I went further in my second message to clarify why.

I would hope that if I was trying to make a joke, but was being very offensive in the process, I would hope someone would point it out to me. I didn't call Jay names or accuse him of any ulterior motive. "Scolded" evens seems a bit strong for the short comment I made, but I apologize to Jay if it came off sounding that way. I just meant to point out that the picture is offensive.

You read an awful lot into my comment. You have now accused me of calling another person racist as well as calling me racist. Both are untrue, and libelous. I don't know if you are having a bad week or what. Maybe you are just a good friend of Jay and are being over-zealous because someone took it upon themselves to point out the inappropriateness of picture. I mean, c'mon. How would you like it if someone posted a picture of him or Hitler in your company's uniform or depicting them as working for your company?

No, I don't see anything funny about the picture what-so-ever. I'd appreciate anyone telling me what IS so funny about it.

I now think you owe me two apologies. Your comments are attacking in nature and totally uncalled for.

Bryan
