I'm pretty sure that those of us from Texas will live up to what the name Texas means: friendly.

Actually, I believe was the Old Spanish word "tejas" that Texas is derived from.
Now it means "everything is big."

Sam,
I'll certainly agree to that, my guns are stacked and unloaded. My style of jumping right in to things may have inflamed passions and caused harsh or misunderstood posts as well, for which I apologize as that was not my intent. Even though I've just joined this month, i've been learning a lot and hope to learn a lot more. Ensuring this forum remains an open atmosphere through my own posts is the least I can do.
Respectfully,
Matt
No, I don't think you have inflamed anything milhistbuff. Most of the folks here can discuss controversial stuff without a problem. I know that I dove right into your threads with a passion, but I think we understand that the other guy is well intentioned.
I'm pretty new to the site, but I haven't really seen any scandelous rudeness. But that might be because I avoid the political threads now.
There's always some folks that will get riled, but most everyone has handled themselves well as I have seen.
Respectfully
