You know what I would like to see? A history of all the flags used in the Civil War. North and South

Start the thread and interest folks will join in. I would like to see that one too.

If you don't like the direction this thread is going, start another one.

It isn't the direction of the thread. That seems to be settling into the same old grooves that you and the others like to refight-endlessly.
If you notice I didn't comment on the article itself. That wasn't the point. It was poorly written and without merit. Why pick it apart? Can't everyone? When I first joined I jumped in on these Civil War threads because I didn't know people like you still thought this way. I like history but am not obsessed with the Civil War. I soon came to realize how much of your self is wrapped up in this. In our past posts back and forth you know I think you are...ferociously dedicated to your point of view. Nothing, fact or Divine Revelation, will move you. So now I basically ignore all but the most egregious dixie pings. It just isn't worth the time. There is so much on Free Republic to keep up on.
As for your invitation to start another thread if I don't like this one, you miss the point. Either on purpose or habit. What I commented on was the hubris of the poster's comments at the end. That was my objection. For someone as zealous as yourself, why don't you do the thread without editorial comment? You might not turn so many people off to your views.
