Perhaps that would be in order in this case. The description was
correct.

Andy - thanks but I dont need or desire your defense. 

Given the ethical requirements, I cannot reprove this person in public
over this matter. However, unless there is a renunication of the
statement , I will be withdrawing from higher-fire after citing the
scripture on the matter without addressing the offending party.

I cannot stand by an allow ungodly racial prejudice to be associated
with anything that I am also as a Christian, without a VERY strong
statement of condemnation. That reaches beyond the respectable limits
of "open forum" in my opinion, so perhaps I am unfit for participation
here, and feel that a page of profanity would not have been worse.
