Quite possibly, it short-circuited any meaningful dialogue that could\'ve resulted because Butcher seems to have taken it pretty personally, and he couldn\'t let it go through the subsequent conversation with another tweeter. The guy has a legit complaint, as you said, anyone would be annoyed at the least if their home neighborhood was portrayed like that.

But that\\\'s no call to be uncivil in a public forum, and the internet is \\\'\\\'definitely\\\'\\\' a public forum. It benefits nobody to go off like that--because that \\\"FUCK YOU JIM BUTCHER!\\\" is what introduced the problem to the author, he\\\'s that much less likely to admit fault or rectify it in future books (he could\\\'ve easily had Harry, say, stop in the area for an extended period of time and learn that it\\\'s not what he thought).
The original complainant should have pointed out the mistakes and why they\\\'re mistakes; insulting and swearing at someone is not the way to be constructive, and is only going to put someone on the defensive.
As for the tone argument, racism isn\\\'t uniform, and the response to it should reflect what was behind the offensive comment. Deliberate malice should evoke a different response than simple ignorance. As I said, the original complainant appears to be assuming Butcher was acting out of the former rather than the latter.
