I regret it! As Aseem said, I admitted fault and apologized for this. Here is an excerpt from an email I sent Aseem when he approached me about it (as he noted in his post).
> I’m sorry about it, I’m sure it was offensive in many ways. But while clear in hindsight, I certainly didn’t realize it at the time. Its not an excuse, but I was 21 years old at the time and my EQ was well… under-developed. I didn’t mean any harm, I was mostly having fun with it, and I’m happy to hear your project is doing well. Anyways, congrats on the success, sorry for the unkind gesture, I would never do such a thing anymore.
Aseem accepted my apology, and I'm very happy to see his project succeed the way it has! I obviously disregarded the project and he proved me (and many others) wrong!
