"GOPcapitalist pointed out to you that Ft Davis was abandoned by the confederates"

That was clear from the passage that was intially posted. The Union forces captured several several "abandoned" forts in west Texas. But then again, are they really "abandoned" when you leave your sick and wounded behind? Or have the soldiers been abandoned?

"Enlighten us, california-boy... what race is nolu chan?"

Racists come in all colors. The last few banned seemed to have all been of the southern persuasion. (I include the one hit wonders who recently stunk up the thread you guys got pulled.)

"If you'd like to discuss the war, the politics, or the politicians, that would be great. These threads used to be at least semi-civilized, and at one time were a great place for people to learn new 'stuff' about the war, the players, and our shared history.... I expect to find nothing useful in the flamewar."

An excellent point. I have made similar observations to the owners. If you can rein in your drunkards and cheap shot artists, maybe it can get back to that level.

Do I detect a detente?

"Pounding on GOPcapitalist and trying to get him banned ..."

Only he can get himself banned. He failed to get me banned, despite his lies.

Why would the 'Reconstruction period' in America's post Civil War history be considered a 'violent threat' to you personally?

Your peculiar response is perplexing and obviously detached from any basis in reality.

Devoted pupils of 'Tommy D' are known for such bizarre verbal manifestations.

"As you are probably aware, the accuser who is present on this thread and who has now attempted to provoke your involvement here was enjoined against posting to me back in January following an incident where he engaged in several overt acts of cyberstalking and harassment in clear violation of FR policy. Several of his offending posts were removed at that time and he was warned against his illegal activity."

More lies by GOPcrapitalist.

He exposed information about himself and had several of his own hot-headed post pulled. He then complained he was being cyber-stalked - a rouse he has tried before. When I received an inquiry from Jim Robinson, I explained the bogus nature of the complaint. He said that he was "unaware of the posting history" and that he would take a look at the thread. Those FReepmails were in the first week of February.

NO warnings. NO sanctions. NO suspensions. NO bans.

It is easy to tell when GOPcrapitalist is lying - he's posting.

It's amazing the Neo-Confeds still don't get the picture concerning the bothering FR moderators with their infantile blustering.

The last place any moderators would want to be stuck, is in a Smokey Back-room 'Civil War thread'.

Could the justifiable reasoning be they are more then aware of the hysterical, grating 'confederate catechism' preached on such threads?

It's no wonder these threads are simply removed, thanks to GOP-crud & his trained rebel seals.

No, here is the mechanism. The mods do the banning. If you impetrate a banning from the mods, they still do the banning, but your representations effect the ban.

If you summon Godzilla to step on Bambi, then you are still morally responsible for Bambi's demise -- a responsibility you share with Godzilla, but it is yours nevertheless, and in no way assignable to Bambi: "Well, that stupid little deer made me do it! By being stupid! It needed to be stepped on!"

Your own malice made you do it.

Uh, not correct. Nolu chan was banned on February 8th, bushpilot about two days later. I don't know when CSSFlorida was banned, or why. Another poster got a time-out sometime later -- again, you and Espinola were around and fired red flares over something he wrote on the subject of retaliation in time of war and the possible sequelae of the notorious Dahlgren Raid of 1864. You two tried to get that other poster banned, didn't you?

Don't play cute with us. We know better -- you can't brag about getting people run off in Post 123, and then claim you're innocent and it's all a canard in Post 140.

What do you want to see, the next Yankees game, or are you a Mets fan?

That your substantiation of your "hate-mongering" charge against DiLorenzo, that I challenged you to put up? Figures.

I truly think he's in denial about himself!

It's truly moved beyond the point of reason. He's convinced himself that his stalker posts didn't get pulled but rather that it was something of my own revelation! And of course he didn't disappear completely from this forum from 1/26/05 to 2/21/05...it was all for "business" and in reality he was posting here all along even though there's absolutely no record of it! And sure, there was no censure of his stalker tactics cause that "cease and desist" note he got from the management wasn't really meant for him! I suppose by this time next week he'll be attributing the faked court rulings and faked west texas battles to us as well...no wait. He already IS attributing the west texas battle he faked to us!

"I challenged you to put up? Figures." You are asking me how 'Tommy D & the Deceivers' new record is selling. Not too well, correct?

The flip side is a real (winner), Tommy's failed attempt at barnyard hip hop, 'Lost cause it, lost cause it'. Pitiful.

Now go take a nap & count bails of cotton.

Have you noticed that how when their habitually sporadic henchman ftD isn't around, their ranks on these threads dwindle to two? Heck, the tu quoque parrot doesn't even seem to be engaged on this thread anymore! In the meantime there are what - 4, 5, maybe 6 on our side who have posted here today? And yet they're the ones talking about supposed "KIAs" and our dwindling ranks. There's truly a Baghdad Bob element to the remaining members of the Wlat Brigade these days.

"Nolu chan was banned on February 8th, bushpilot about two days later. I don't know when CSSFlorida was banned, or why."

Precisely. The 'crapper's attempt to get me banned backfired! I got no warnings, suspension, or ban. That's a fact. And I had time to alert all of the active sane posters of the increased scutiny on the thread. I believe the phrase I used in those Freepmails was, "give them enough rope, and they'll hang themselves."

And you guys did. You have no one to blame but yourselves, and especially the 'crapper, for bringing the increased scuntiny to the thread. I take no credit for getting anyone banned; I simply note that, in defending myself from the 'crapper's lies, the content of the neo-reb posts evidently became an issue. Why, exactly, each of those posters were bounced, I don't know. I know what the neo-reb line is - it wasn't their fault ... the unionists got them ... they were ticked ... the bannings were absurd. But that a couple of them were totally purged from the system must be some insight as to the severity of their offenses. And that they were in the madst of justifying assassination and posting comments about "baboon emancipators" and other epithets, should give you pause.

Believe me, if I were a moderator or had some inordinate pull with them, you wouldn't be here to recieve this post.
