A reference to 9/11

I’ve seen a player today with a name referring to the Twin Towers (direct reference, not hinting). His guild name was a very direct reference to 9/11.

What is your opinion: is this name plain offensive or just incredibly tasteless?

I was this close to report the player right there and then, but I saw that he’s having a birthday buff on his character, clearly indicating that he had gotten away with this name for a year. Honestly, I’m on the fence. While I find this name unbelievably primitive, especially in a fantasy game, it is not my wish to punish people for their unrefined taste, simply because they won’t learn. So I can look the other way, question is, should we?
