I also don't see where not buying the 7th season of Seinfeld DVD has anything to do with this. Jesse is overreaching, imo.
I believe it has gotten too much press and hype and I do believe that Richards is truly sorry.

I agree.
I also think it's dumb for there to be litigation over this. There are lessons to learn from this, whether it be about anger management or race. What doesn't need to be learned/reminded is that people are opportunists who will claim injury as a result of words just for the hell of it. The man is seeking resolution for whatever reasons and suing him does nothing but reinforce a litigous society.
