There was this 82 year old man who was offended, I was told & badgered about, because of my swearing. But when i looked at this 82 year old man's complaint elsewhere it seemed to focus on the use of "White Man's Language" mentioned by someone else that had a response saying it's racists and where I ended up jumping in and made it worse because as you know, these outsiders do not like being called out and admitting that they're wrong.

So this guy Solomon Wyllie first mentioned that he went to that forum to learn what his mother taught him. But on his facebook account he mentioned his ethnicities, which were German, I think the other was French, but no Asian, definitely no Kanaka Oiwi roots in there. But why didn't surprise me that he'd be offended with that term - "White man's language?" After all, he IS white.

So he didn't like my response to him, which was actually nice, not combative at all, except I did reply to the original poster that Solomon wasn't offended at me swearing as told by another Haole who jumped into the conversation telling me that I should apologize to the 82 year old "kupuna" and that I should remove my posts and apologize to the owner of the site. Yes, a true haole-dictative & ego-driven person as we know them to be.

I did reply to the original poster in Hawaiian that apparently Solomon is NOT who he made himself out to be, although it is misleading and he never said that he wasn't Hawaiian, at least up until now. But first, he blocked his account so that now you can't see his bio where he listed his White ethnicities. Then he replied to nearly every post I had even when I didn't mention anything on relating to that topic, and badgered me till no end.

He called me boy and a punk, that I shouldn't teach Hawaiian. No, I don't teach Hawaiian. He kept on bringing up my Filipino side, mentioning that I live in California, unlike him, and therefore he is more Hawaiian than me. He mentioned my Filipino last name (forgetting my non-Filipino first name nor the fact that he has no Hawaiian name at all) and it goes on. I mean literally he was lashing out and angry. He said he saw 3 different wars in his lifetime, just reminding me of how much he's experienced compared to me.

Yes, this is the ego talking in all its glory. So what do these people do to save face? They quantify us! This is the only way they can assert & strengthen their feeling of self by reacting in this manner, trying to make us "less" of what they believe is "Hawaiian."

I always ask myself what is their motive other than wanting to look like the good guy, which is what he's doing by posting under every reply possible. Then I realize I've been talking about "ego" a lot, and that's all it is. Nothing more. Unfortunately we are caught in the cross fire and we are "quantified" because we somehow rubbed these Haoles the wrong way.

Because after all, the "Haole" way is the only way to be. Their ways, their perceptions, their way of living is how we all should be. This is what Solomon was upset about, not so much the use of "White man's language" which he claims was an old term, which I know it is, but the fact that it was someone finally speaking up against Haole-imposition.
