He posted what he posted and phrased it how he phrased it

because he knew it would get a reaction from some people. I don;t know if the mischevious intent makes it a "racist" post or not but in any case Ben had it drawn to his attention at the time it was made and (given his other post around the same time and general history as an irritant) no doubt Zigic will be banned for being the troll that we all know he is. Doesn't need to be turned into some sort of major incident (which ironically we are potentially doing by prolonging the debate over it - so I need to calm down as well).

        Of course it crosses the line (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 10:46:04
        
        The only actually racist post has had zero replies. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 10:54:57
        
        So people have been complaining about racism (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:14:42
        
        Well, the post that got all the replies certainly was racist in context, but not so much (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 11:19:42
        
        Yes my point was about ignoring him that was all (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:35:10

        Er whooosh? (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:53:12
        
        One reply. Made less than a minute before I posted this. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 10:58:16
        
        I agree with SCC. People need to calm down (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 10:45:49
        
        That's even more ridiculous than your previous post (n/m) (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:24:38
        
        Which previous post? (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:25:44
        
        That should have been below 'fair enough' (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:32:06
        
        He posted what he posted and phrased it how he phrased it (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:47:57
        
        Just wanted to register my disapproval... (General Chat) - Wilts, Jun 17, 11:08:53
        
        Fair enough (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:12:14
        
        That post was astatement of fact, although clearly designed to rattle Wrath cages. (General Chat) - CB41, Jun 17, 11:00:56
        
        I'm guessing that's why the worse post wasn't reported first then (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:16:16
        
        That post was astatement of fact, although clearly designed to rattle Wrath cages. (n/m) (General Chat) - CB41, Jun 17, 11:00:00
        
        Although i've just seen his subsequent post which i agree does cross the line more! (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 10:48:44
        
        Probably best to read it through before telling people to calm down (n/m) (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:04:08
        
        I had read the post he was talking about. Still no need for the frenzy though (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:08:40
        
        Hardly a frenzy (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:14:34
        
        People need to point it out?!!! (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:17:01
        
        Of course they do. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 11:21:22
        
        Sorry but I don't see what all the replies registering offence achieves (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:36:48
        
        It's about being part of the club. (General Chat) - Bare_Buttocks, Jun 17, 11:39:44
        
        They don't need too (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:20:09
        
        Because that's what the 'troll' wants? (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:38:37
        
        I think they do (General Chat) - Old Man, Jun 17, 11:18:56
        
        But it was pointed out by over a dozen people (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:41:50
        
        Good (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:48:11
        
        Agreed. (General Chat) - Wilts, Jun 17, 11:38:42
