Oh man. Looks like he missed, or didn't understand, Giles' excellent comment. Witness:
My view is that offending someone is walking up to them and saying: “You suck, your code sucks and your partner’s code sucks!”.
That is not what I did in my talk.
Failing so hard it's almost painful to watch.

Now I see it's the organizers fault for having him talk, and my fault for "choosing to take offense". If this guy had any p.r. savvy he'd just issue a simple apology and move on; instead he's stoking the fire more.
