Naw, you're just driving yourself nuts here for no good reason.
I was just documenting that you have cognitive issues.
Your quote from my #206 was extremely selective, as is your norm. A more complete quote may counteract your cognitive issues enough for you to see that you falsely attributed a quote to me.
[DiogenesLamp #208 to FLT-bird #205] begins,To: FLT-birdThey were against the spread of slavery to the western territories.
DiogenesLamp was quoting FLT-bird #205.

DL quoting woodpusher: "They were against the spread of slavery to the western territories."At this point, I was not even aware of the existence of this thread. I had stated nothing on the thread, nor does it appear anybody quoted me saying anything. BroJoeBidenK merely has cognitive issues. Only in BroJoeBidenK's head, was I here among his imaginary friends and adverseries, being "quoted."
Due to your Biden syndrome, in your confusion you imagined that DiogenesLamp had "quoted" woodpusher. As I had not participated on the thread in any way, nor had I even been cited or referenced by anyone, there is no good reason why anything on the thread was attributed to me as a "quote." There was nothing of mine on the thread to confuse with someone else.
Free Republic's traditional posting guidelines say: if I mention you in my post, then I should include your name in my address line.It's a "rule" that oldtimers like wardaddy well know, but often chose to ignore.
That's why you were addressed.
Do try to not make believe that you were doing me a courtesy, pinging me to your misbegotten wrongly attributed "quote." BroJoeBidenK, your excuse making is on a par with Jen Psaki. Come to think of it, are you two related?
Another old tradition is due diligence before posting. Our conversation is on another thread where you established that Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Roy P. Basler were all Lost Causers. For some reason, you left that conversation abruptly after I was called a Lost Causer for a post I made, and I documented I had used the words of Ulysses S. Grant from a report to President Andrew Johnson, December 18, 1865. Ulysses S. Grant, a Lost Causer. Who knew?
You're right, I checked your homework and it's a clear case of clerical mistaken identity -- I mistook your twin brother (or sister), FLT-bird, for you, sorry about that, young fellow.
I'll be more careful in the future.
And maybe you can help out by explaining in what ways you actually differ from FLT-bird?
woodpusher: "Our conversation is on another thread where you established that Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Roy P. Basler were all Lost Causers. "
And here you demonstrate your own "cognitive issues" and also validate my criticism of many Lost Causers -- you can dump-truck a full 14 yards of quotes on us, but have only specious arguments to cement all that aggregate together.
First, here, you duplicated your post to jmacusa, just changing the addressee.
Second, your duplicated posts #127 & 128 both refer back to your post #123, in which you seem to think you've made a very, very, too too clever argument, actually quoting someone else's words, but presenting them as if they were your own, then demanding:
Except, of course, it's not.
Grant's quote is from December 1865, years before incidents like this one:
And I would also forgive woodpusher for trying to play a silly trick -- it is, after all, all he's got to offer.
I don't, however, think woodpusher would qualify as, in Grant's words, a "thinking man".
Too many "cognitive issues".
