At that point the guy actually said, "I'm not moving from this spot until someone heals me."  That was when I as party leader said, "Okay.  You wait here by yourself while we continue to explore these deadly ruins without you."  He changed his tune at that point and continued on with us.  Fast forward to us returning to town.  Again as party leader it fell to me to take care of the problem and I let his PC(not the player who we didn't have an issue with) know that he was no longer welcome in the party and had to leave.The player became livid.  He started screaming at me, stood up and got in my face about an inch away and accused me of racism and targeting him because he was black.  I tried to explain why we decided his PC had to go, but he wouldn't listen and just kept up the accusation.  At that point my temper went and I told him to get out of my face or we could step outside and settle this.  He said okay, which would have been a mistake since he was smaller than me and I'm not exactly a big guy.  At that moment the DM, who also happened to be my martial arts teacher, stopped watching and stepped in very quickly to separate us. He talked to the guy outside for a while and calmed him down.  When he came back inside he wouldn't meet my eyes, but gave me looks when he thought I wasn't looking. We still didn't kick him out of the group, but he stopped coming a few weeks later.</blockquote>
