Like I said, lady, I’m not within a thousand miles of you. But you don’t get to tell me where I can and can’t post on a public forum. If you don’t like it, leave.

[rockrr]

No one is stopping you from leaving.

[rockrr]

It figures that you would find that picture amusing.

[cowboyway]

If you can't stand the heat and all that.

Total war, right bubba!

Does your dog hide under the bed when you log on?

[cowboyway]

You heard the lady, boys. Stay away from her.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Does your dog hide under the bed when you log on?

That's total war? No wonder y'all lost.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Or what? You’ll threaten to secede again?

[rockrr]

You’re welcome to leave any time as well....boy.

[mac_truck]

Your research? Perhaps you can justify your 'conclusion' with empirical data.

That's right clownboy. It turns out there's about fifteen volumes of Congressional testimony regarding southern Klan activity in the 1870-1872 period alone, including several volumes on South Carolina alone. I'm gonna make Chesterfield County circa 1871 a special research project just for you and little miss priss.

Count on it.

If you want to avoid these public forums because your delicate sensibilities might be offended, then do so. But I'll address your attention to post #280, where the AdMod gave license to "proceed to rip each others guts clean out."

The mod didn't make it manditory that we rip each other's guts out. I say give the lady a rest. She's new to these WBTS threads.

mstar, if you love history as much as I gather that you do, you can learn a lot from these threads. They are kind of like a graduate seminar on the war. Just ignore the juvenile posters and don't let them get to you.

That's it, boys! I'll be your huckleberry...

Good for you! Now, why don't you tell us where you're from and we'll reciprocate the deed.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Ooh, now I’m afraid. Cow is channeling Val Kilmer.

War is rough on civilians. But you are mistaken if you don’t think Confederates were guilty of the same excess. I know of a nice story of a Confederate colonel (no doubt a Southern gentlemen) attempting to choke an elderly citizen of McDonald, Tennessee to death over a horse. The responsibility of loosing this mayhem on the nation rests with the geniuses who thought it a great idea to tear the nation apart so they could take their human property into the territories.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

General Howard to his command, October 16, 1864: "To-day soldiers of our army entered houses and opened trunks, drawers and boxes, utterly destroying everything they could lay their hands on. They took from women and children the last morsel of food. In some cases these things were done under the eyes of commissioned officers and in a manner as if it were a frolic. ."

Is that General Oliver Howard? A great American and a great Republican who showed he cared more for the education of poor Southerners than most secessionists by his support for the establishment of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate Tennessee.

As far as starving Southerners is concerned, most Southern starvation during the war occurred because the plantation crowd chose to have their slaves produce money crops rather than grow food to feed the families of the despised mudsills who were doing their fighting.

Wow I haven't been called "Little Miss Priss" since grade school. I'm feeling sassy.

[cowboyway]

Ooh, now I’m afraid. Cow is channeling Val Kilmer.

You and punkrr are just the cutest little things!

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Sorry, Cow. I’m not interested.

[rockrr]

Unconvincingly ;-)

[rockrr]

Just ignore the juvenile posters and don't let them get to you.

Then there wouldn't be anybody to talk to (or to talk back).
