Depends. I don't know enough about your thinker to say.
But getting back to Turchin for a moment. Even you admit that his actions, regardless of the truth behind them, led to a court martial. How many courts martials resulted from the southern actions in Maryland and Pennsylvania? How many officers were held accountable for the looting of farms, the destruction of private property, the abduction of free blacks who were taken south to slavery? Any ideas?
Uh...no, I don't think so. You are not answering my question directly. You are going about it in a round about way. And it first must be determined whether I'm to be classified as being off-the-wall. Because if that is so, then this conversation has concluded. And don't go and play around with words because you know exactly what I mean. So, just answer my question and stop pulling the, you jump through several hoops, then I'll talk. Because I won't buy it...
