Show me one post where I called another poster a name.

Your very first post on this thread was rude and insulting.

I have stated that your position is motivated in part by cowardice or Yankee indoctrination...because I believe those things to be true.

That's rude and insulting, and unless you are a mind-reader, it's an unsupportable assumption.

I believe you are mistaking stridency and firmness of opinion for rudeness.

No, I'm not. It's rudeness, plain and simple.

My first post seems of the same kind as all my previous ones. I stand by that I have called no one a name. Just questioned their courage. My purpose is to provoke thought, not insult for the sake of insulting.

It certainly does not rank up there with "redneck goons" and trailer park and hambone cracks.
