Okay, you know that a lot of slurs have a history of violence associated with them? That if you're a member of a group, and you hear a word hurled at you, that it is not unusual for that word to be followed up with violence?|

I'm sorry that I'm not understanding what you're saying, but I'll throw this in:
I do think people should choose how they should engage, and spend energy where it'll do the most good. It's not always productive to spend energy on someone who's determined to justify whatever messed up thing they're saying about other people*, but it's often productive to work on practical solutions.
* Not a reference to anyone in this thread.

But people who whinge because they said something disagreeable and other people got mad at them seem to fit that Pesci mold you keep swinging around.

I'm not mad at Westley. I'm not deliberately misinterpreting what Westley says. I'm not a guy. I'm not a stereotype from TVTropes.

I Neg rep you Westley only because you seemed to want it. I typically comment outright what I think. Oddly my rep has stopped moving one way or the other as it's hung at 83 for awhile. I guess I've lost my shock value hehe.

What is that, a combination of Hinge and Whine? Somehow being able to whine while rotating upon an axis like a motor with a bad bearing?
