Offensive and bigoted comment deleted

Tuesday night a regular commenter made an offensive remark, then doubled down and reiterated that they had meant to offend. I’ve removed this person’s two comments and pruned the thread to remove or edit a few responses which would otherwise now be missing context, and hope that’s OK with the writers.

I’m grateful to those who alerted me to the comment, which I hadn’t noticed immediately because it was posted just after I’d shut down for the night.

I haven’t invoked the actual banhammer but have asked the commenter to take a break.
