You are protesting too much and your prejudice is showing.
Let us review the postings...I didn't go all the way back but in #60 you referred to the Southerners as "bigoted posters" in #77 you brought up slavery in #91 you wrote to me (when I had never made any comments to you or about you) about my "self-righteous hypocrisy". Since you started the posts to me...and commented on my comments to others...why do you find it unreasonable that I would comment on your responses to others? Now you are involved in the "you started it first" which is most often seen in children...and it is your response to everyone who objects when you call Southerners names. To disagree is one thing, to call your opponent bigots and self-righteous hypocrites only shows you cannot defend your position without resorting to name calling.
You said you didn't first mention slavery to me, I said you did. I was right. Open and shut case. What's your complaint? yarddog said the South was better economically than the North pre-1860. He distinguished the slave times. I answered. That's what happens on discussion forums, posts beget answers.

I don't care if you do or not. You said you didn't mention slavery to me before I mentioned it to you, I proved you were mistaken as evidenced by post #99, open and shut case.

Unfortunately for you, our discussion can easily be read and everyone can see that you're wrong. You started that too. You said that when I talked about slavery, that I must have been responding to someone else because you didn't mention slavery. You were wrong, you mentioned slavery to me in post #99 first. Again you Southerners are starting a fight and then complaining of the results.

But you are bigots and self-righteous hypocrits. Read the first 50 posts again and you'll see it. You guys went on for quite a while before we started responding. War is hell, ain't it?
