Don't get me wrong, I hope this was just a stupid trick by a reprehensible person and I hope they find him/her and punish them to the full extent of the law (and maybe go beyond that). But, if this WAS just a stupid trick and not a legitimate threat, didn't the owner just help the author (unintended, of course), by sharing the letters?

I thought we tried the 'ignore racism away' approach?
