Let's not get carried away with this. It is important for us to speak
up when someone uses forceful language (for the sake of the archives),
and very important when it's used with someone who's not a native
English speaker or is a newbie.

However, having made a comment to tone things down, it's best to drop
it. Especially when the person targeted is an American and a core team
member who isn't actually going to be insulted. An apology is only
really necessary if someone is hurt.
