No More

[Rob9641]

yeah you got me on one of those. The lower case 'l' is intentioal disrespect for a demi-god of the political correct of both right and left. The simple fact is the man was just in no manner shape or form what he is held up to be.

The lower case 'n' though means no disrespect and is correct. north and south (lower case) are directions but the SOUTH is a place with certain cultural, demographic and political aspects in common. A northerner lives in the north, a southerner lives in the south. But a Southerner lives in Dixie and pocesses certain cultural characteristics and familial ties. You can speak of a New England-er a New Yorker or even a Mid-Westerner but a Northerner? Sorry, but there ain't no such animal. Unless maybe you are talking about "Nanook of the North".

Holy ****........

Rob,
I heartily concur with your sentiments!

And the Cotton 7 were acting so peacefully up to this time right?

Oh, Oh, Oh, to all you veteran posters, and everyone else, please don't get bored by going over the same material over and over. As some have been saying, there's always someone new reading and learning and maybe even making their first post.

As a huge chunk of history is near finite, repetition is normal. I've been on a couple forums on different topics where many new folks had questions and some of the veteran posters would always gruffly say "we've discussed that so many times, go look in the archives"!

I'm very happy to report I've not seen anything like that here, kudos to all you veterans and moderators! Occasionally a courteous reference to a thread thought to be in the archives is given and that's a good thing as long as civilly done!

The wonderful value in a forum like this isn't what's in the archives but all you veteran posters and what you have stored in your brains and your reference materials to keep mulling over and over for us less educated in the topic.

Thanks to all you great veteran posters and moderators, and also all the newbies that give them all the reason to be here going over the same material!

AMEN to this!

D***! There was me thinking he was the greatest politician I have ever studied. I've been duped!

Ironic this is under the "No More" thread. Here's mine:

I will not argue with cretins no more.

"Arguing about "who owned Sumter?" is just lame. How does it matter? Who thought about it at the time? Nobody."

That we can agree on.

When you give the respect you ask for, I will cut you some slack. Meanwhile this thread is closed. Come back Saturday.

Hmm. ought not respond as I've already closed the thread. I'm not a northerner. I'm not a southerner. I just look at what it was and call it history That's where it all comes together.

This is a cheap shot in that you cannot respond. Sometime Saturday, I will reopen this thread hoping that you've done some thinking. I haven't much faith that you've changed your mind in the interim, but this is what I do when someone freaks out.

You have freaked out.

So, It behooves me, as a moderator, to counsel you to shut the **** up. You don't get to win.

We have a very nice board wherein we can mostly just jab each other now and then. Stabbing is not tolerated. You don't like that arrangement, you are cordially invited to butt out before you are thrown out
