You like to talk out of the side of your mouth, don't you? Well, FYI, the guy died in an ordnance-handling accident of some sort. He wasn't murdered, Drama Queen.
Why are you guys dissecting all this ant-sh!t over the characterization of the men aboard the Union ships? What does it matter, beyond one guy getting to call the other guy a nuu-nuu? You guys are priceless. Your interlocutors are dumber than you are, to stoop to discussing anything with a tendentious boor whose principal talent is a flair for brawling and slander and whose principal interest seems to be putting something on some guy he never met. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." You brawl very well, but as I note above, you could touch up your slandering a bit and try not to do it out of the corner of your mouth, since you'll wind up eating it around here, like Wlat did.
My gosh, you guys get mad about everything. Chill out a little. The word "apparently" meant that I didn't know how he died, exactly. Glancing over the record, I read he was killed in the surrender parade and assumed some hothead shot him while exiting the fort. There are hotheads in every crowd but if that's not what happened, fine.

Because they're implying there was no such thing as fighting sailors. Don't like it, don't read it. And you're doing the same thing by jumping all over me for getting a detail wrong about the surrender, which I acknowledged could be the case anyway since I used the word "apparently".

Good enough reason for me. You're just mad that I proved them wrong.

And some try to hide their lack of intelligence by using fancy words. What am I putting on people? My first post on this thread was a simple statement of fact, a one line statement. For making that statement, I'm considered the worst enemy there is to all the noeconfederates here but one. It shows that some can't handle the truth and what I said was true, that simple truths inflame more than anything else can (to those on the wrong side of truth).
"Not that there's anything wrong with that." You brawl very well, but as I note above, you could touch up your slandering...
"Slandering"? I made it clear that I didn't know how he died, exactly, by my choice of words. Like I said, you take this too seriously, it was 140 years ago and I mentioned no names. Unlike the neoconfederates who accuse Lincoln of everything under the sun. I speak in generalities knowing we're all human. They have some self-righteous hangup that makes them think that some never sinned.
...a bit and try not to do it out of the corner of your mouth, since you'll wind up eating it around here, like Wlat did.
I'm not a Dem. Walt strayed too far from the "likeminded" mold that should exist around here in fighting Dems.
