[FLT-bird]

Your repetitive responding to respond in order to waste as much time as possible while failing to read and/or just claiming any source that is inconvenient for your arguments is automatically untrue, has likewise come to an end. Buh Bye.

FLT-bird: "13th attempt."

Getting just a little, ahem, repetitive, aren't you?
I'd call that p*ss*ng on the thread, clearly a form of abuse, especially when we consider the following:

1. Of 753 posts so far, by far the most came from FLT-bird, by my count 135.
   I might be next, with 94 posts.
   DoodleDawg has 76.

2. Some of FLT-bird's posts are mercifully brief, but others are lengthy, filled with quotes & detailed rebuttals, so I'd not guess his word count less than mine.

3. As for how, ahem, repetitive is FLT-bird, I count, for example, four times he's posted this particular quote:
   "If the Southern Confederation is allowed to carry out a policy by which only a nominal duty is laid upon the imports, no doubt the business of the chief Northern cities will be seriously injured thereby...."

Of course, like any Democrat, FLT-bird's nature is to shout out his opinions as long & loudly as possible, then if that doesn't work, to shut down opposition by becoming... well... as annoying as can be.

But the question remains whether FLT-bird or others have raised issues which were not yet adequately addressed?
My answer is: possibly, and my intentions are to answer them, as best as they can be answered with whatever time I might have to spend on it.

Now Free Republic's unwritten rules (unwritten so far as I know) say, if I'm going to discuss FLT-bird's posts, then I have to include FLT-bird in my addressee list, so I will, even at risk of FLT-bird increasing his own post count by **repetitively** complaining about mine. ;-)

I just have one question for you, when you read South Carolina’s declaration of secession what do you think is the main reason they gave for seceding.
