[gopcap] I never stated that he was unrelated to this article.
Thus, it would seem that someone offering criticism of Lincoln (and only Lincoln) on a thread whose stated theme is "Big Confederate Government" is engaging in the Tu Quoque ad-hominem you delight in squawking about.
Thanks for the clarification.
Speaking of non-sequiturs, thanks for providing a classic example. First off, the stated theme of this thread is NOT "Big Confederate Government" but rather "The Economics of the Civil War." Second, the element of discussion in which non-seq's little tu quoque charade was attempted pertained exclusively to Lincoln and not Davis, thus making a demand that Davis be similarly criticized absurd and irrelevant. Third, your conclusion that a person talking about Lincoln on this thread is engaged in tu quoque does not even begin to follow from its premise. It is irrational, unsubstantiated, and lacks even the most remote rational connection to the concept of the tu quoque. Thus it would seem that you suffer from the same affliction of your buddy non-seq: You never got the concept to begin with and apparently still don't get it.
