Yes, that's right, you caught the OP using inaccurate wording - he should have said that the player used racist language, as he can't prove the OP knows what race he is (and in this case was probably wrong). Of course, it became clear in their exchange on 2+2 that there was a racial target (the OP's avatar), but regardless, many people find the racist language objectionable whatever the OP's race may be.

It's too late to fix it, so lets pretend it didn't happen... or better yet, lets take it out on the messenger.
Actually, you have no idea about the reason, you're just making an assumption. Not sure who's pretending it didn't happen; we're pretty much doing the opposite by not having deleted the thread yet, nor any of these comments about it. As for shooting the messenger...LOL.
If you really want to keep debating this whole racism-witchcraft analogy, as I said, there's a thread in Internet Poker where you can get into that.
