Not to mention the society in general using the word "Savage" as their name alongside the appropriation of Maori imagery and culture. It is what it is. Whatever the case, I'll bow out at this point and go back to lurking, as I'm not much interested in such a heavy-handed approach nor censoring my own posts. Good luck with future investigations.
