I take it that you won’t be doing a Joshua Chamberlain and saluting a long time foe as he leaves the battlefield.
I’ve been doing battle with non-seq on the WBTS threads for many years. That’s about the only place I’ve run into him or noticed his posts. We haven’t agreed on much about that war or the issues involved. Whatever his faults as a poster (and I dinged him above on his posting style), he would occasionally bring some useful history information to these WBTS threads. For that and for the many civil disagreements about history that he and I have had over the years, I salute him as he leaves.
Feel free to salute far left trolls that infest FR on a regular basis. I’ll save the salute for people I respect and kick the others in the a$$ on their way out the door as they get the zot.
Congratulations rustbucket, you stand head and shoulders above the motley assortment of Lost Cause carrion-eaters and bottom-feeders who gather to pick over Non-Sequitur’s remains.
For whatever over-exuberance he may have had in his approach to debate, Non-Sequitur had few contemporaries. He could argue with the best of them, and he won far more than he lost.
Even the gloating over the circumstance of his departure is hollow. No one bested him. No one earned a notch in his tally-gun or legitimate bragging rights. Those who do prance around and high-five their reflection in the mirror only look juvenile and churlish.
It is a leftist trait to seek to silence opposing viewpoints. Perhaps that is why it is favored by central-va and moe-jo.
How unfortunate for them that the debate will go on.
