>>I can think of no reason to show restraint when confronted with such outright racism.<< Paul - I can. Because in this case, you are inferring the racism. You can't know what's in Ground Zero's head. I suspect that if you did, you wouldn't find it pleasant, but that's very much beside the point. In any case, assumptions about another person's motivations or inner thoughts are not a valid basis for condemning that person. Ground Zero has said plenty of stuff explicitly that one might legitimately criticize him for. - Allen
