You certainly seemed to be suggesting that someone wasn't keeping this in
perspective.

And you also wrote

comment someone made in jest....that *nobody* even
believes he really meant or advocated.

Maybe you didn't mean you think what he said was OK, but you apparently
don't think people should be upset by it.  I think those statements are
roughly equivalent.
