charlatan - A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud.

I stand by my correct usage of the word.

I may be an illiterate and ignorant southerner whose ancestors narrowly avoided genocide by the north, but I do know the proper definition.

You have a strange view of debate. - We must believe your unsupported opinions, or be branded 'charlatans'.

[Which is an odd, almost paranoid charge. Who has tried to con or swindle you?] - Weird. #173

Now you're begging the question & nit picking.

- I made NO such 'fraudulant' claims, I merely gave you my opinions on how the south could [& should] have avoided the war.

You [being unable it refute my reason], have flipped out, making silly, paranoid charges and are now claiming a false humility. -- Whatta bizarre way to argue.
