John responds. I hesitate to post it as it may just direct more hate his way but I believe he has a right to have a voice and an opinion about his own experience.[/quote]

I can see why you’d hesitate to post this. Davidson gave very detailed and moving descriptions of his own experiences, and I, like many, feel for him. However — neither Davidson nor his interviewer mentioned anything that even touches on the distress that others might feel when his behavior impacts them.  Good to know that after quite a bit of time and “fallout” Davidson’s team has reached out “in order to apologize “ to three people directly impacted by his n-word comments.

Honestly I think most insults and offensive language don't bother people that much. The n word is in a class of its own with the extreme reaction to it and maybe this is the first time Davidson and his "team" whoever that is have had such an overwhelming negative reaction to his verbal tic. It sounds like there were some homophobic slurs at this event too and we don't see as much of an uproar. It wasn't televised but it sounds like Davidson himself said he used some word along those lines.[/quote]
