ROTFLMAO!!!! What part of "at and after the inauguration" did you fail to understand? Lincoln wasn't giving Scott instructions before then.
The letter proving the contrary notwithstanding.
Ever notice, rb, that every time you document a point, every time someone makes a good argument, this guy starts hitting the ROFLMAO button?
I think it's covered under "slothful induction" and "resistance to argument/elenchus".
Dishonesty is the simpler word.
