Was that before or after you called them racist?

It's moot now because after being called out they or someone just flagged my posts; as soon as they started losing their racist witch burning game they just flipped the game board over and went home.

> losing their racist witch burning game

What the actual fuck?

Witch burning?

Hmm... Quite the martyr!

We've banned the other user, but please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Before. That’s why I bothered to look it up. And that’s when I discovered that the “savages” were actually employees of the Tongan government acting with the authority of the Pacific Forum.

You’re not very good at this “good faith” business are you, friend?

Maybe you didn't notice they couldn't last one trip without a murder, of their own people, then.

That's right, Minervas only murder was the savages vs themselves. That they were government 'employees' (well actually, partially prisoners) can be said of many murderous savages, some might say even most.

I've banned the other user for breaking the site guidelines, but it's not ok for you to break the site guidelines either, no matter how bad someone else's comments are or you feel they are.
