Default Civil War Talk

I don't know about all you Yanks or Rebs out there but I throughly enjoy the discussions we get into about the
Civil War. I have really learned alot since December of last year when I signed up. I especially like the manner in which things are discussed. No calling names or smart-alec remarks that only tend to cause hard feelings between participants.

Same here. I haven't been a member here for very long, however, I've been a moderator for the largest PWC (personal watercraft..ie: JetSki) site on the net, PWCToday.com, and there is constant bickering, name calling, etc. Great information, but you have to be constantly looking for the troublemakers.

Here, I've been learning alot from reading different threads and I noticed there's hardly any animosity between members, it's great.

While we may disagree on things, we remain civil at this most civil of Civil War forums.

I'm guessing you might not be spending much time in the secession and politics forum! Overall tho, i do agree. This forum is a fountain of information.

Well. Now I can see that I can edit anyone's message. Sorry Matthew. Was going to respond. Copied a piece of your post and hit the wrong button. It disappeared.

Reminder to self. Think before you hit a key.

Ole, I hope your adage is followed by those in charge of nuclear missiles!

For the most part true, but we do have our moments.
