hey thanks. just to be clear and end this thread, this guy was never
related to PPAr and as far as we can tell, PD is only himself. he
doesn't represent any pirate party in latinamerica.

he refers to common argentinian derogatory expressions, 'pirates' can
refer to either british (government) people (because of this[0]), or men
that cheat their wives (because of a popular song).

we need pirate revisionism :D
