The Komodo dragon Shodan, the world’s largest living lizard, is found on the steep-sloped island of Komodo, in the lesser Sunda chain of the Indonesian Archipelago, and the nearby islands of Rinja, Padar, and Flores.

No, I live in the US.

The Klan in Indonesia never really got off the ground - the hoods are way uncomfortable in a tropical climate. And nobody knows what you mean when you try to burn a crescent on somebody’s lawn.

Regards,  
Shodan  
Miss Congeniality Dragon of the SDMB

> You forgot the accusation that in addition to being an Oymyakon native, I’m also crowd sharing my account with others. It reflects the reflexive anxiety that occurs when people of color enter white spaces. When I first joined, I referred to Grand Dragon Shodan as female, when it was brought to my attention that ‘she’ was a ‘he’, I ceased misgendering Grand Dragon Shodan. No questions were asked and I took Grand Dragon Shodan at his word that he identifies as male just as I took Uncle Bricker’s word that he identifies as a person of color. In contrast, people of color are not given the benefit of the doubt by white folks. We are assumed to be liars, hustlers, and frauds. You can sit there and shake your head if you want to. You don’t have to look at yourselves in the mirror because history reflects the hypocrisy for you. Because I know you don’t know much about African-American history or how cruel white folks are to people of color, but you will be reminded today that the poetry of Phyllis Wheatley was assumed to be fraudulent because white folks didn’t believe a person of color to have the intelligence and creativity to write with beauty. You will be reminded today that Frederick Douglass was assumed to be fraudulent because Douglass “was an unlearned, and rather an ordinary negro, and am confident he was not capable of writing the Narrative [of Frederick Douglass]”. You will be reminded that Barack Obama was assumed to be fraudulent for . . . _everything_ . . . and white folks demanded to see\* everything\* from transcripts to birth certificates.
> 
> You will also be reminded of the lives of Till, the Scottsboro Boys, Johnson who, despite protesting their innocence, were deemed as liars and executed/lynched by white people. You see, white people live in an different universe, in a different reality, where racism is antagonism; where fact and truth are replaced by conspiracy theories and rumor. White supremacy is real just ask Steve King who white folks elected to Congress - a white supremacist representing 700,000 people -[meanwhile, white folks are obsessing over Ocasio-Cortez](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/01/11/tim-scott-republicans-can-no-longer-be-silent-bigotry/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1087783e7a8f). Even now, you have very credible reports that President Trump - the president white people overwhelmingly chose in 2016 - is potentially be (maybe is now) a Russian agent to destabilize the United States. White folks puzzle piece response? To accuse _me_ of working as an agent of the Russian Federation :smack: to destabilize the United States. The ignorance is deafening. Not everyone is a sock, crowdsharing their account, or working for the Internet Research Agency. It’s paranoia and pathetic, and your inability to exhibit basic trust or give others benefit of the doubt doesn’t portend well for the country.

Oh give me a fucking break. You’re not fucking Phyllis Wheatley.

You’ve never heard of “[Munchausen by Internet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchausen_by_Internet)”?, I take it? I’ve been using the internet for over 20 years now, and I learned a long time ago that not having a health dose of skepticism is a really, really bad idea.

Dude, this board has been taken in by liars and trolls so many times it’s not funny. In the two trolls thread we have here, just look up the tales of “Kaitlyn”, “WallyM7” and “umkay”, for starters. Those are the most prominent. One of them even faked his own death, one posted pictures of her “her and her wife” that turned out to be of Chinese actresses. :dubious:

And even without the liars, we’ve had more trolls than you could shake a stick at. We’ve had people obsess about things like circumcision, bondage, pedophilia, vegetarianism, the environment, prostitution, Englebert Humberdink, Justin Bieber, video games, gambling, feminism, religion, terrorism, Paul Verhoeven, near death experiences, sports, etc.

So it’s a question of racism here. You’re not going to be given the benefit of the doubt, because new posters who immediately start off with an agenda (whatever said agenda is) usually aren’t. Blame past experiences around here. I’ve been posting on this board for almost 20 years now. I think I know a little bit more about this place than you do. You’re not getting doubted because you’re black.

My advice to you is this: if you insist on giving [everyone you meet on the internet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchausen_by_Internet#Notable_cases) the benefit of the doubt, you’re gonna get taken in, sooner or later. A healthy dose of skepticism will do you some good.

So get the fuck over yourself, you’re not being treated any different than any other n00b.

That’s how an edgelord sees himself. The rest of the world sees a pathetic loser who’s living in his Mom’s basement and still getting a thrill out of saying naughty words.

No, I am not Ms. Wheatley. I never suggested that I was, in fact, I’d ask you to reread it again because you missed the point. The point was that when people of color enter white spaces, we are treated with suspicion. You, yourself accused me of being a white man. You never apologized nor did you ever admit wrong, because you - like most white people - are incapable of self-reflection and humility. While I don’t know you, I can tell that your inability for introspection are tell-tale signs that you are poor inbred trash masquerading as human being. Let me be clear, Guinastasia: I do not give a shit about your emotional baggage. I do not care about your 9th grade vocabulary. I do not care about your desultory writing style nor your inability to pen a thesis statement. I do not care about your “past experiences” with other posters. I do not care about “Kaitlyn”, “WallyM7” and “umkay” or any other poster on the SDMB. I do not care that you’ve wasted two decades and countless hours of your life posting on a message board. I do not care that you’ve constantly posted here to get fellowship that you clearly do not have outside the Internet. Really, I don’t. I realize now why you don’t have many people of color here. You see, most people of color have these things called bills. These bills (or responsibilities) are used by people of color to live and these bills have names like rent, electric bill, car payment, food, etc that require us to go to work. So, as you can see, we don’t have the privilege to write over 7 posts a day, every day, for over 6900 days straight, never missing a day. Really, we don’t. Your projection is funny. You’re diagnosing people over the Internet but I suspect that, in real-life, you are an old, lonely, miserable, depressed, pill-popping woman who has chased away and alienated any semblance of warmth and comfort in this world. So, lost, you come _here_ for your approval, for your fellowship, for your social fix for acceptance, for your awful self-preening. It’s pathetic, sad, and childish (well, in your case, elderly). Just so you know, up until now, even after all of the shit you’ve said, I deliberately held back, and tried to be nice. But, because you insist on acting like Grand Dragon Shodan, I will treat you like the hateful, inbred, cross-burning animal you are. Begone, thot.

> I prefer “Komodo Dragon Shodan”.

Given that the komodo dragon refuse to raise their offspring, I’d say that it’s an apt honorific for Grand Dragon Shodan. Although, in the defense of the komodo dragon, the komodo dragon would rather eat it’s young rather than use it’s offspring as a prop to virtue signal to other komodo dragons that it’s a vegetarian.

It’s a fucking internet message board – it’s for entertainment. It’s not a “white space”. Or a “black space”, or whatever. You do realize that not all of the posters criticizing you are white, right? (Seriously, where the hell are you getting this idea that this is majority-white space?)  
Emotional baggage? Da’hell? My point was, I don’t take this place all that seriously, and I tend to treat people I encounter on the internet with skepticism. You do, apparently.  
You’re not special, you’re just another poster, in a long, long line who come here with the same old tactics. And we’ll treat you the same as we treat them. If you want to believe it’s because of racism, well, that’s your perogative. You said you consider yourself equal? Well, this is how we treat EVERYONE. Suck it up, buttercup.

You also seem to have this obsession with inbreeding. I’d hate to see your internet history.  
BTW, calling me a ho? Stay classy. LOL  
Edited to add: yep, **Fenris**. Apparently Huey has never learned about this thing called\* male privilege\*.

It’s a perfectly reasonable assumption to have if your sense of the Internet was calibrated twenty years ago… or on /pol/.

(/pol/ is 4chan’s politics board. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall Neo-Nazi, both because of edgelords thinking that swastikas piss off the normies and because, when you create a space full of people pretending to be idiots, real idiots flood in, thinking they’re in good company.

Herbert’s obsession with autism and [del]wincest[/del] incest both point towards a familiarity with 4chan in-jokes. That, and the fact he’s almost as unfunny as _Encyclopedia Dramatica_.)

tfw you don’t realize his lack of White privilege trumps your lack of male privilege.

I’ve been to Flores and the dragons are huge. Up to 3 metres long. And despite their lack of coloration, very hard to see. Especially if you’re wearing sunglasses. Another member of our tour group almost stepped on one.

I believe I read somewhere, where a foreign potentate gave America some Komodo dragons. Is that true?

Recently I had a bad experience trading plant material (cuttings) with another member of a Facebook group. I sent out my package promptly, he didn’t, and when called on it, indignantly said “I work for a living”. I would’ve felt deeply ashamed if not for the fact that I also work for a living and had taken time out of my routine to meet my obligations.

I would further rebut Huey’s lengthy rantings, but really, I have Better Things To Do. 🙂

Oh. Interesting… Where do they come from?
