You can’t be that stupid, can you?
You and I and everyone else knows that you are using “neo-Confederate” as an insult, a provocation. You use it the same way libtards use neo-con...because it smacks of the same evil connotations as neo-Nazi. NO ONE wanting to engage in a civil discussion would use such characterization, whether they are real terms or not. Well, if you are stupid, you might.
You could have used many other terms that don’t have such a negative connotation and started off with an honest effort to have a real discussion. No, what you did was make a list of supposed myths and then “supported” them with selected “facts”. That it itself was OK, but you then couldn’t resist trying to poke a stick in the eye of those who believe differently than you. My responses have been of the exact same tone. I told you I wouldn’t debate you because you are a neo-comm...but you’ve badgered me constantly, responding to comments I made to others, not you. So, as I indicated, I’ve stayed away from debate and simply used neo-comm to accurately describe you and your perspective.
You apparently take issue with that description, though I’m not sure why. You have indicated that neo-Confederate is a real term used to describe people like me. By the same rules, neo-comm is a real term used to describe people like you. Both are true if you want take the meaning of words and apply them selectively. Both terms are also used disparagingly.
You can’t have it both ways. Stop using provocative words you know are going to tweak people or accept the fact that people are going to disparage you in return.
OK, pal?

Your troll-like responses are noted, along with your false allegations of personal insults against Lee'sGhost.
In fact, the term "Neo-Confederate" has been around for years -- used to describe people who interpret events in order to both defend the Confederacy and project current politics back into Civil War era history.
As with the term "Neo-Conservative" it is only as insulting as people using it intend to be.
But why would anyone even assume the term "Neo-Confederate" is a personal insult against Lee'sGhost?
Lee'sGhost: "You use it the same way libtards use neo-con...because it smacks of the same evil connotations as neo-Nazi.
NO ONE wanting to engage in a civil discussion would use such characterization, whether they are real terms or not.
Well, if you are stupid, you might."
For reference: here is a lengthy definition of the term "Neo-Confederate".
Might I suggest, if you think the definition itself is accurate, but the term "Neo-Confederate" is inappropriate, then what term, exactly, do you prefer?
By the way, I've asked that same question before, and you've refused to answer.
Lee'sGhost: "You could have used many other terms that don’t have such a negative connotation and started off with an honest effort to have a real discussion."
Go ahead, suggest what you think is a more appropriate term.
As for "a real discussion" how could it possible get more "real" than nearly 1,000 posts from dozens of contributors on Free Republic?
Lee'sGhost: "No, what you did was make a list of supposed myths and then “supported” them with selected “facts”.
That it itself was OK, but you then couldn’t resist trying to poke a stick in the eye of those who believe differently than you."
I asked before: quote even one example of an "insult" or "stick in the eye" I've posted that justifies your continuing troll-like responses.
Lee'sGhost: "My responses have been of the exact same tone.
I told you I wouldn’t debate you because you are a neo-comm...but you’ve badgered me constantly, responding to comments I made to others, not you.
So, as I indicated, I’ve stayed away from debate and simply used neo-comm to accurately describe you and your perspective."
Again, you can't quote an insult that I've directed at you personally or generally.
By stark contrast, Lee'sGhost has taken every opportunity to heap personal scorn and inaccurate insults on yours truly.
If that's not troll-like behavior, then what is?
Lee'sGhost: "You have indicated that neo-Confederate is a real term used to describe people like me."
"Neo-Confederate" is a real term which may or may not apply to Lee'sGhost, your choice.
Or chose a different term.
Lee'sGhost: "You can’t have it both ways.
Stop using provocative words you know are going to tweak people or accept the fact that people are going to disparage you in return."
"Provocative" like "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder.
So far, Lee'sGhost is the only poster I've seen on these threads to take offense at the term "Neo-Confederate", and that strongly suggests most people don't find it "provocative".
Even more, it hints that Lee'sGhost is a troll out looking for an easy mark to practice his art on, and thinks he's found one in a gentle soul like BroJoeK. ;-)
Now I'd say it's long past time to stop.
OK, pal?
