Sandy, you're fine and more than welcome to stay. All is forgiven.
For some background, the comment in question raised the ire of more than one member. Tim received the complaints, and then decided to hand the issue off to me as he felt I could better separate the wheat from the chaff.
As a general rule, I don't give a damn what someone's beliefs are regarding, well, anything. In fact, I had read through the thread initially and, having missed the one offending comment, didn't think there was anything particularly wrong with it.
There has to be a line drawn in the sand somewhere though, and the "pieces and parts" remark crossed it. I understand that you were upset, and I get that you tend toward hyperbole in general, but it still couldn't be left. I genuinely believe you to be a good person who let his anger get the best of him. It's probably one of the top ten universal problems of humanity, and one that nobody is immune to, myself included.
