Would you grant me the space to admire parts of the legacy of General Nathan Bedford Forrest?

It's not up to me to "grant" you anything. However, in observing your admiration for the founder of the KKK, I would also recall something many of us scorned during the Clinton era -- the concept of "compartmentalization."

I would expect nothing less than that rant from someone who so deeply admires the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

This is how it all started a few posts ago with your unsolicited observation that identifies my posts as a "rant" and presumes without any evidence, apart from the nom de plume and the avatar that I "deeply admire" the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

So I responded in a way that should have been clear to you that there were some parts of Forest's life that I admire and others which I do not.

What most men of reason would describe as an enlightened selectivity and felicity of judgment, you derogate as "compartmentalization."

What all readers of this thread will observe is that you have yet to utter a single syllable addressed to the substance of my original remarks.
