Chances are your head's spinning right now. That accusation of bias caught you off guard, you got kind of defensive, and now all hell has broken loose. You're feeling attacked on all sides. You're a good person at heart, and having all these people treat you like the antichrist is pretty upsetting.

You need to say something, but you're probably not in the best headspace to write copy right now. So to help you along, here's my 100% guaranteed-or-you-money-back scandal defusement apology template:

Here are some of the "gotchas" I've encountered when I converted all the javascript code into coffeescript. (BTW, this is gathered while coding for YourMechanic.com, a very cool mobile auto repair service.)

Disclaimer: Coffeescript is a great productivity booster for me personally. Even with all the things outlined below, it is still way better than javascript. None of these should discourage you from jumping into it right away.
