Of course, dancing the weasel dance and toadying for the winners doesn't make you a winner, little man. But keep thinking about it, maybe you'll figure it all out eventually.

Near as I can tell, your latest tirade against me came about after this other poster asked me something about Robert E. Lee. I happened to point out that Lee was clearly a supporter of slavery. I didn't say anything to you at all.

I am sorry if the fact that Lee was a supporter of slavery offends you. I guess you'd rather not be made aware of unpleasant facts or have them made available to others.

But people can't make reasoned judgments unless they have the facts. Maybe you don't want people to have facts that show the rebels in a bad light. Maybe that is what set you off, but I can't help that.

PS: I apologize if my earlier post generated flames in your direction. Sometimes the sans culotte are best ignored. They simply aren't worth it.

Near as I can tell, ...[Yes, that's the operational clause].....I didn't say anything to you at all.

Open forum, Walt.

I am sorry if the fact.... not established by you, so why should I buy it, when your quotes contradict themselves?...... that Lee was a supporter of slavery offends you.

The facts don't offend me. Your flamingly partisan stance and overtaxation of quotations in extenso to corroborate vicious claims of moral degeneracy against men whose boots you couldn't shine, like the comments in your #305, offend me. You do this aw-shucks jive about "I just cite the clear record", when you do nothing of the sort, and I'll just keep on pointing it out.
