I doubt NS celebrates Christmas unless it’s with all those black Muslim neighbors in his neighborhood(his word, not mine). God riddance to a long lived troll, good riddance to bad rubbish, concern trolls not needed on FR.
I take it that you won’t be doing a Joshua Chamberlain and saluting a long time foe as he leaves the battlefield.
I’ve been doing battle with non-seq on the WBTS threads for many years. That’s about the only place I’ve run into him or noticed his posts. We haven’t agreed on much about that war or the issues involved. Whatever his faults as a poster (and I dinged him above on his posting style), he would occasionally bring some useful history information to these WBTS threads. For that and for the many civil disagreements about history that he and I have had over the years, I salute him as he leaves.
Feel free to salute far left trolls that infest FR on a regular basis. I’ll save the salute for people I respect and kick the others in the a$$ on their way out the door as they get the zot.
Congratulations rustbucket, you stand head and shoulders above the motley assortment of Lost Cause carrion-eaters and bottom-feeders who gather to pick over Non-Sequitur’s remains.
For whatever over-exuberance he may have had in his approach to debate, Non-Sequitur had few contemporaries. He could argue with the best of them, and he won far more than he lost.
Even the gloating over the circumstance of his departure is hollow. No one bested him. No one earned a notch in his tally-gun or legitimate bragging rights. Those who do prance around and high-five their reflection in the mirror only look juvenile and churlish.
It is a leftist trait to seek to silence opposing viewpoints. Perhaps that is why it is favored by central-va and moe-jo.
How unfortunate for them that the debate will go on.
By the way, did you happen to see how much abuse that poster (I edited his name out of my post in order to prevent more reprisals) was subjected to for showing a little common decency in front of the carrion-eaters and bottom-feeders?
Both sides get a bit passionate, I think. Decorum doesn’t rule on these threads unless the owner insists on it.
I was told by an old poster years ago that our host once talked about outlawing threads about the war because of their flame wars but was talked out of it or thought better of it. By ignoring the insults and flame wars, I have learned a great deal of history from these threads and a profound respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I respected them before but not with the intensity and background I have now. For that, I thank our host and his wise decision to let the threads remain.
Beats head on desk
He's been gone for two weeks and I missed it!
Thanks for your thought provoking responses. They've helped lead me to purchase a copy of the Federalist so as to better understand the issues we speak of.
Seelye said Georgia’s ORDINANCE of Secession mentioned slavery. It doesn’t. Here it is in its entirety:
We do further declare and ordain that the union now existing between the State of Georgia and other States under the name of the United States of America is hereby dissolved, and that the State of Georgia is in full possession and exercise of all those rights of sovereignty which belong and appertain to a free and independent State.
Passed January 19, 1861.
As I clearly stated, Seelye MEANT Georgia’s DECLARATION OF CAUSES OF SECESSION, but she called it the Ordinance of Secession.
That all the causes listed except slavery are “window dressing” is your opinion, to which you are certainly entitled.
Seelye confused the Ordinance of Secession and the Declaration of Causes of Secession. She was not correct.
You're welcome down here anytime...you can even rifle hunt deer here.
