The same could be said by ignoring them especially online, you are letting them win. They have posted something offensive and by you simply ignoring it and leaving it online they have won.
However by reporting the offensive item/posting/thread then steps can be taken to ensure its moderated, and no that doesnt mean removed, but fairly moderated and dealt with in a proper manner.
Am quite surprised at your stance really given you are a moderator.
