Hardly.
With all due credit to Ironyak, although probably not in this instance wanting credit, but what you are doing is called SEALIONING perhaps maybe with a side dish of Just Asking Questions.
And of course, while here in Puna, in Hawaii.
I've no problem with you thinking that I'm doing some relatively modern thing that some call sealioning, I'm happy to argue that especially as it's based on a comic strip, but MyManao just wants me to shut up and not post, and that's very different. And when Rob posts "And some say there is no god", I think others should be able to respond to that without being told to shut up.
The modern world, including Hawaii, has a much higher standard of living than centuries ago, thanks to science, not god. I thinks the examples of that are so numerous I don't have to mention them, but if you think I do, I will. On the other hand, MyManao just posts insults and wants me to stop posting.

Traditionally it's called passive aggressive bullying. Of which, I am sure Freud could write reams on the subject.
In Hawaii, in the days of old, I imagine they just got sent to Waha'ula, and let the kahuna deal with it.
And there you go. I don't think I need to say much more.
