I've just gotten back to this question, and I'm still doing some fact checking.

Meantime, why don't you think about "Which part is true ..."

As to "malicious gossip" that is your expression, not mine. I had written, "Rumor and speculation."

I am perfectly content to let that stand for now.

I regret that you don't wish to discuss further the notions of "Constitutionalist" and "Declarationist" or their place WRT the column.

I had thought that might have been fruitful.

Best to you,

Sorry, I must have misunderstood - I was ready to, but thought you said you would prefer to discuss those on the Civil War II threads. Now I'll have to remember what I'd meant to say.
