This is just a he said she said right now. Nobody can know for sure what Kessler was going to say EXCEPT for Kessler, and he says he was stopping himself from slurring. Therefore since we can't possibly know what he was thinking without biasing our decisions on him based on his past activity, the warn shouldn't stick. As far as I know Kessler hasn't slurred since November, and why do we want to punish him for stopping himself and following the rules? That would just encourage him to full slur again. As it is right now there is no distinction between just throwing out the slur in full length and cutting yourself off because you slipped up, which seems silly as long as he apologizes.
