Hello guys, this is the one and only Minard (the real one). A lot of misinformation has been going around, about me. I am here to separate fact from fiction. It is true that Martin and myself used to troll Italians all the time. We had a lot of fun and that is all it was. I never hated Italians, truth be told. Why would I? My mother's family is Italian. I was just young and enjoyed the trolling. I think it was the same for Martin. Martin loves and respects Italian culture, though he himself is not Italian. The people that are claiming I am part of some attack on someone, along with Martin are incorrect. One of the things I did that may have given the wrong idea is intentionally posting photos of myself that looked Mestizo. The reason I did this was because I thought it would be funny to look Mestizo and call myself Italian. The truth is, I am half Northern European (WASP and Germanic mix from the USA), 3/8 Italian, 1/16 Ashkenazi Jewish, and 1/16 Slovak/Hungarian.
The only reason I am being honest about this JUST now, is people are trying to portray me as some hateful guy who wants to attack members of Italicroots. I merely was a guy who trolled them in the 2010s. If any of you guys doubt my heritage, this is my GEDmatch kit: M081807. So yeah, I am not a Sudaca or anything like that (big shock!) I think that people have been pushing us to fight, for entertainment. It is no longer fun for me, so I want to be upfront. I love Italy, so I will stop messing with you guys. let's have a conversation!
The person called Halfdan coming on Italicroots and claiming that there is some secret plan/scheme with Martino and myself is likely NOT Germanic at all. I believe I know who they are, but am not inclined to say, because I cannot be 100%. I can say that they are likely from South America, though. I do know of a few individuals that dislike me and Martino. I will also say that this person would never have the respect for Italy that Martino and myself have. The reason for all of this is still confusing me. That is why I want to come out of my hiatus and talk with the people of Italicroots and allow Martino to do the same thing. We could possibly even have a conversation with the people of South America and put an end to these wars.
