You type to suit yourself? You realize you’re posting on a public message board, right? One of the purposes behind grammatical and punctuation rules is to make it easier for the reader to understand what you’re trying to get across. Why not write in code, if you’re only writing for yourself? I detect a strong hint of narcissism in you.
And I seemt to remember that you claimed to charge people for doing research- do people actually pay you when they see how you write?
Ya think? Watie's practically a textbook of neurotic and psychotic behavior. He has imaginary friends, he's paranoid, he's a compulsive liar...the list goes on. Since you seem to be a newcomer to the Civil War threads and Watie, here's little poem about ol' Stand to bring you up to speed:
I'M A LOST CAUSE FREEPEROh, I’m a Lost Cause Freeper, now that’s just what I am.
For standard capitalization, I do not give a damn.
No tale’s too big to make up, no sources I will quote
And I don’t need no spell-check for anything I wrote.
I hates the stars and stripes flag, I loves the stars and bars
I stuck a big Third National on the bumper of my car
I got a Cherokee flag that I had special made
Most people when they meet me, think I’m touched in the haid.
I hates all things from up north. I really, really do.
If Santa’s from the pole there, well then I hates him too.
I’ve been a Lost Cause Freeper for seven years or more.
I only talks ‘bout pancakes, and the late Civil War.
The Yanks killed all my kinfolk, ev’ry single one.
And there’s a captured U-boat on display in Galveston.
Quantrill spelled his name wrong, ev’ry single time
And ev’ry Union soldier shoulda been hung for a crime,
That I’m a protected poster many here can vouch
When Jim Rob comes to DC, he sleeps here on my couch
I can’t express myself in words like normal people do
My fingers hurt from pounding keys, I might have a loose screw
.
Three hundred thousand posts here, they all read just the same
And if my facts are incorrect, I will not take the blame
I got it from a book I read, one you cannot find
And don’t you dare suggest it’s just a figment of my mind
I’m stuck in these United States, beneath the flag I hate
I sign my posts “free dixie” but am resigned to my fate
I’ll keep on fightin’ my war, on every single thread
I won’t stop actin’ crazy until I am dead
the FACTS are that those people on this forum who constantly carp/complain/gripe about my typing are usually UNknowledgeable about the WBTS and have nothing else to say.
