"It is never my intent to insult or demean anyone - and I understand how some of my remarks may have offended some in attendance and if you feel they did, then I am deeply sorry,"

This looks like a classic non-apology apology. The guy is speaking weaselese here. (JMHO)

yeah my thoughts exactly.

It's a "new age" apology. I apologize for you being offended instead of being sorry for my own offensive behavior...that actually caused the offense.

So yes, it is a "non-apology apology".

Yep, and with a big helping of "Oh, I was only joking!" thrown in.
