In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

racist thing?
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say “racist,” but I can see how someone might think you sound xenophobic. If I didn’t enjoy interacting with your posts so often, I could see how someone would see your tone as trying to “other” and shame an entire culture. But I know that’s usually not where you’re coming from.
What were the “unkind speculations” you wanted to hint at but not articulate?
you’re doing the antisemite thing again starik.
Ok, sorry. Now what were your “unkind speculations” about Samoa?
sorry, i see that i did a racism. i just felt like winding you up a little bit before copping to it.
there’s a religion that claims a large portion of samoa belongs to it. i’ve had bad experiences with that religion. i don’t want to open that can of worms but this kind tax fraud type behavior is like, average behavior for the religion (to the point that they had to make it part of sermons that they “don’t believe in tax fraud” even though they have (or had) secret religious ceremonies swearing vengeance against the US government like i said can of worms. cults are fun to study but less fun to be in).
my bigotries are a little less about race and a little more about who has stabbed me in the back.
More like you did a vague posting that hinted at something being wrong with Samoans in general.
Now I’m curious what the religion is. Their census says most are Christian. It also says ~15% are Mormon. Is that the one?
while discussing their mint dude. use context clues next time to figure out that it’s discussing a government and not people.
No. This was the entirety of your comment:
The comment you were replying to was talking about odd foreign currencies, but your comment appears to be about the island nation of Samoa itself. I still don’t believe the explanation I pulled out of you, because there was no reason not to “go there.” Nobody would have thought it unkind to inform us of a secret money laundering cult on Samoa that you know about. That’s actually quite interesting. I think the “there” you didn’t want to go to was someplace different.
My dude, I don’t think I’ve had an interaction with you that wasn’t you getting your panties in a twist over something someone didn’t say but you imagined they said.
