[UA] Guilty!

[Jim Nicholson]

Actually, I think in this specific case the comment was supposed to be
ironic, i.e. lamenting that the "Middle Eastern" gentlement were ostracized
and condemning the presumption of guilt.

That said, there were some rather questionable posts on RPG.net by the SCS
staff in the wake of 9/11 that give me pause in spite of this.
