During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the {{wpd|South Africa}}n city of {{wpd|Port Elizabeth}}, renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021. D9eoead originally did not consider this interest bait, but by mid-October, with Lemuria's expressions intensifying, he began to consider Port Elizabeth another form of Lemurian bait. | During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the {{wpd|South Africa}}n city of {{wpd|Port Elizabeth}}, renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021.

Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map. D9eoead and other users argued that the name "Port Elizabeth" was a remnant of imperialism and {{wpd|apartheid}} that should be erased, but Lemuria disagreed with this, believing the name change to be a completely pointless and ineffective measure. Lemuria further argued that the name could be separated from its imperialist roots, but Fern and d9eoead believed otherwise, the latter stating that it is necessary to abandon the name in the effort to completely erase imperialism and colonialism. | Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map.
