Presumably all the contributors to this thread who "can't see why anyone would be offended" will be pointing out to the Mods that, when a post causes offence, it's the person offended who should be warned off rather than the poster.
Would it also have have all been a fuss about nothing if the "typo" had read "freshly peeled Jew", or "freshly sliced lesbian", or "freshly fried epileptic"?*
Do bear in mind when reading the above sentence that any offence that you feel - particularly if you are Jewish, a lesbian or suffer from epilepsy - is your fault. And anyway, everything offends someone, so just chill out.
*I am not dumb enough to claim that these sentences exist only because of a typo, a dodgy spellchecker or an incompetent proofreader.
