Forrest's soldiers loved him. His fellow generals admired him. His enemies were terrified at the mere mention of his name. Gen. Robert E. Lee said of his finest subordinate commanders, the most remarkable was one he "had never met" Forrest. And U.S. and foreign military officers alike have studied Forrests campaigns over the decades since the end of the war. It has even been speculated that some aspects of the German Blitzkrieg were patterned after some of Forrest's operations.

You claim that you now have smoking gun proof that "Yachts Against Subs" actually exists, based on an easily-faked craigslist classified ad by someone who, coincidentally, has the same last name as your uncle. Is that about it?
So what is this web of lies I've allegedly been caught in? All I've said from the beginning is that I can't find any evidence of "Yachts Against Subs" anywhere. I've searched library catalogues--including ones you've named--bibliographies, booksellers and more. I've challenged you repeatedly to show that it exists, and the best you've been able to come up with is a CL ad by someone with one of your family names. I hardly feel caught in a web, there, sport.
Now you, on the other hand, have told us that: The Yankees burned down the synagogue in Alexandria years before any synagogue was built there.
That there was a captured U-boat in a Galveston park.
That the Spanish were celebrating Thanksgiving near El Paso "100+" years before the Pilgrims landed in 1620, even though Cortez only landed in Mexico in 1519 and the first expeditions didn't approach the El Paso area until the 1540s.
Challenged to support any of these ludicrous claims, you sputter and fume and attempt to change the subject, calling any source presented no good while never presenting any of your own.
You want to know who I am? Fine. I'm Heyworth. Want to go tell on me? Go for it. It won't do a thing for your credibility around here. Now, I've told you who I am. Answer the questions.
where ya'll been???
i was WRONG. i finally guessed that you were "modernman", another of the BANNED, lying, hate-FILLED, arrogant DYs (who even the DYs on FR weren't comfortable with).
NOW, having admitted your previous alias, how about going the rest of the way & admitting that you've LIED "from the get go" about this subject.
THEN, please head back over to DU (where i heard you were hanging out) & be with the other EX-FReepers, who mostly not only hate the CSA but the USA as well.
free dixie,sw
Now, how about answering some of those questions you said you'd answer if I 'fessed up. When was that Thanksgiving again?
What, from the same "little bird" who told you I was going to be banned back in March? Sorry. I poke around over there once in a while, but those people are DUMB, and I've never been able to find a good discussion of the Civil War. If you get me banned again I'll go to the History Channel boards. There are several Civil War threads there, but they aren't as entertaining as the ones here.
btw, aren't you the one who keeps saying that things advertised on craigslist are NOT trustworthy/real or some other similar NONSENSE??? (you cannot have it BOTH ways.)
furthermore you ADMITTED that YOU posted a FRAUD on craigslist while DESPERATELY "flailing around" trying to think of a way OUT of the tapestry of LIES that you got caught in, which made your reputation for "fair play" & honesty even worse than it already was.
face it, your reputation is TOAST & you are CORRECTLY identified as a KNOWING, serial, LIAR.
free dixie,sw
it's OK ( i guess) to be a raving REVISIONIST & perhaps even a dedicated south-HATER;it is NOT OK to be a serial LIAR, a BIGOT and/or a CREEP on this or any other forum.
so you ADMIT that you are a DUer???? = interesting. did you converse with the other former FReepers of "the DAMNyankee coven of lunatics, REVISIONISTS, creeps, LEFTISTS, nitwits & BIGOTS", who i understand are ACTIVE on DU,"Daily Kos", "clown posse" & on the A.N.S.W.E.R. web-messes ????
to ALL: it should "tell you something" about the "DAMNyankee coven" (DAMNyankees being defined as the 10-15% percent of northerners who HATE the southland & southerners. they are SELF-righteous, sanctimonious,arrogant, narrow-minded & BIGOTED.), inasmuch as they have NUMEROUS former members NOW on the LEFTIST/south-HATING/America-HATING websites, but there are NO former "good 'ole rebs" on those sites!
fwiw,my grandfather always said that DAMNyankees were NO better than racists & IF they were not so busy HATING the southland & southerners, that they would be some other sort of BIGOT. my grandfather was CORRECT about that, as he was about so many other things.

fyi, there are NO such people in the family. indeed there are (to my knowledge) ANY Bankhead(s) in ANY state except AL,MS,TN & TX.
You need to look a little harder. Anywho.com shows a dozen listings for Bankheads in AZ, 9 in AR, 77 in California, 63 in Utah, 7 in MA, and 16 in NY, just to search a few at random. Here's the web page for Don Bankhead, a city council member from Fullerton, CA
Then there's Harrison Bankhead, a jazz bassist from Chicago...
btw, aren't you the one who keeps saying that things advertised on craigslist are NOT trustworthy/real or some other similar NONSENSE??? (you cannot have it BOTH ways.)
What both ways? I think the listing was a fraud. I showed how easy it is to list a fake item on there, and had I not admitted up front that it was a fake, it would likely have gone undetected. When I got the email from "Tara Bankhead" and recognized it as a family name you've bandied about, my suspicions were strengthened. Of course that whole fantasy story about the nice old man going with her to the financial office of the college (in August) and paying off her entire debt was a bit of a tip-off, too.
Speaking of serial lies, when was that Thanksgiving outside El Paso again>
Finally, if I'm such a liar, how do you know I'm not lying when I say I'm Heyworth? I might have just told you that to try to get you to answer the questions you said you'd answer if I gave you a name. I could have just as easily chosen modernman, or Walt, or any other name.
stand, you might do a Bankhead search on the People Search part of Yahoo. There are lots of Bankheads in other states.
Are you any relation to Confederate General John Bankhead Macruder?
I'll admit that I've posted there once or twice over the years, mostly to tell them that they're wrong about some fact or another. After the Kelo decision it was fun to watch them try to get their heads around the fact that it was the conservatives on the court who had dissented--they couldn't believe that the liberals were willing to give their property to corporations, but the conservatives weren't. But in general they're rather shrill and irritating bunch and not very entertaining.
did you converse with the other former FReepers of "the DAMNyankee coven of lunatics, REVISIONISTS, creeps, LEFTISTS, nitwits & BIGOTS", who i understand are ACTIVE on DU,"Daily Kos", "clown posse" & on the A.N.S.W.E.R. web-messes ????
Like I said, I've never found a thread there about the Civil War, and I've never been to Kos or ANSWER or any of those other sites. I have no idea where you've gotten your information, but if visiting DU is a capital offense around here, you'll have to go tell everyone on the DU Funnies thread here that they're in big trouble. And as I said before, the History Channel forums are a much more likely place to find me. There's one of your Lost Cause compadres over there who is constantly trying to link to Stormfront and other white supremacist sites.
Magruder, not Macruder
as i said, my guess is that YOU are the LIAR, who came up with the "Bankhead dodge", trying DESPERATELY to think of some way/ANY way to get yourself out of the MESS you've made with LIES by the dozen.
btw, what part of "to my knowledge" did you NOT understand??? OR are you just being your usual clueLESS/arrogant/hate-FILLED self???
free dixie,sw
as far as mother knows the only ones were are related to (though EVERYBODY is kin to each other through Noah!) are in AL,MS,TN & TX.
check your mail.

Yeah, as usual your ignorance shines through.
What's even more curious about the craigslist thing is that this "Tara Bankhead" claims to be in Providence, RI. If you do a Google search on the name, you find that there is a Tara Bankhead listed as an Office Specialist for Providence City, UT. Link here
frankly, i must tell you that you fit the description of all those terms.
fyi, why not go ahead & admit that this whole "situation" is NOTHING but a "put-up job" to TRY to retrieve yourself from the "web of lies" that you created??? (fyi, it won't work, as your reputation is ruined beyond repair. NOBODY is DUMB enough to believe ANYTHING you now post.)
free dixie,sw
They're free to find some evidence of the existence of "Yachts Against Subs" that's more reputable than an easily-faked craigslist ad. If anyone does that, I'll be more than happy to admit I was wrong.
Again, I can't figure out what "web of lies" you're talking about. You're the one who has been busted for lying over and over again and who has never once presented any evidence for anything
When was that Thanksgiving outside El Paso again? When was that Alexandria synagogue burned? When was that U-boat captured (or sunk--I notice you have a different version of the story on Post #88 of this message board)
NOBODY believes ANYTHING you post. NOW, none of us will even believe that you used to be "heyworthLESS, the HATER", FOOL & BIGOT (absent PROOF), though you're certainly DISHONEST enough to be that CREEP.
free dixie,sw
I don’t know about the ACLU, but we can praise guys like Generals Jackson and Lee without raising up guys like this.
They don't believe that you claimed that United States soldiers burned down the synagogue in Alexandria, even though both a historical marker (the photo of which can be found online) and the local synagogue both say no synagogue was built in Alexandria until well after the war?
They don't believe that you claimed that there's a captured U-boat in a Galveston park?
Because I can link to you saying all those things.
