Please accept my apology for offering a suggestion to the FR community that appears to have somehow offended you personally.
I'm not offended at all. I am, on the other hand, heartily amused.
I’m really not sure what you’re trying to say. I said from the beginning I thought Durand’s source was one of the best because of all of the original sources both referenced and included right in the supplements. My favorite authors on the subjects are Madison, Lincoln, Calhoun, Lee, etc., not DiLorenzo or Durand.
I could care less about the author’s style, nor do I see the point in comparing styles when we’re discussing the things they cited. If you want to make a actual point, please pick any of my posts and show where I quoted Durand’s words ONCE! Since you cannot, your statement is folly.
I prefer to make up my own mind based on facts. You apparently think it’s all about who is the best narrator of a story, not the story itself.
