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. ;-)

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.

14th attempt.

Sooner or later you’re going to realize that you are simply not going to steal hours of my day every day by posting your same old obsessive BS.

I posted 10% of the responses on this thread? I really need to get a life.

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to note how many of those posts were is response to a factual inaccuracy that FLT-bird posted? I'm just curious.
