I did mean the argument in general, not just you.

I do not consider directly calling me Founding-hating or America-hating, and accusing me of such, to be anything but highly offensive and insulting to me personally. It is very serious to me.

First of all, you may be just too sensitive, your skin may be too thin for posting about controversial subjects on Free Republic.
Please consider that all of us who defend our Free Republic and Founders Intent on Civil War threads have been accused of worse, and called far worse names.
Some have been actually threatened.
On just this thread alone I was called a "sorry ass" (see post #218), and that's quite mild compared to some CW threads... :-)

So this exercise is not really suited for the feint of heart, the weak of mind or anyone easily offended by rough and tumble debates.

Second, there are several appropriate responses to the accusation of "anti-American", including:

Finally, if you think I have "insulted" you, then I'd invite you to quote my words, and explain exactly what about them you find "offensive".
