Finally! I've been using the site with a foreign-sounding name for ages now and hadn't been the victim of any horrible racism! Phew. I don't want to hobble together an ugly image capturing the whole conversation, but I commented on a post about Kentucky electing to ignore any Obama gun enforcement laws. Being unfamiliar with state/commonwealth law, I asked whether this was a move in the direction of succession or whether it was akin to that. My post began with "Forgive me, but..."

I got a :smuggo: reply from Gideon Mawet, starting with Well, :airquote: (foreign name) :airquote: and ended with as far as forgiving you, isn't that a Muslim name?

It's not. It's Arabic. After a while without posting (and him mentioning me several times talking to other people), he said "Guess he went back to Pakistan".

Ganna ask him if I can assume he's an Israelite based on his name.

Edit: He is hitting on someone in the thread by making fun of Islamic prayer. BEHOLD:

That thread is horrible, Gideon really doesn't know when to shut up huh?

Whicket is actually kind of a low-level enemy. Selaty is kind of tough to get friended, but the guy who's such a belligerent rear end that he will go out of his way to tell you he won't friend you is Guzda. He's basically the End Boss. Once you're on Guzda's friend list you've pretty much beaten the game.

Don't worry - you're no different from the detachment of an FBI agent who tries to 'think like a serial killer' to catch one.

Also these people are extraordinarily predictable.

It's base tribalism.

They hate the 'other tribe' because the 'other tribe' is just a mirror of their own faults. (Or a projected image of their own faults.)

I've collected a notorious troll hunter and one of the three Selatys, but I haven't leveled up nearly enough to go for the other two or Guzda yet (in fact, I may have blocked him right away to shield myself. I don't remember). I'm getting there though, just takes some grinding.
