There was this: "What I really meant to say about your post #395 was that it was a bunch of bullsh*t.”
And this: “It's your usual modus operandi: hit & run poster, put out lengthy bovine excrement full of nonsense, then run for the hills when answers are posted.”
And this: "Trying to debate you is a waste of time because you reply to fact with bullsh*t, and respond to logic with inane nonsense.”
And this: “And we are supposed to give a crap about your biased opinions on Lincoln and the rebellion?”
Unrelated to the scatological tautology, there was this recent best in class, if unfeasibly large, contribution to the debate:
“All of this lost cause nonsense, that sends jeffersonDavisauntieEm and his ilk snuffling their snouts through the mud, for their little nuggets of vengeance, stem from the words spoken by a lunatic actor/coward/murder (whose name I don't speak) who, like a guttersnipe, struck Lincoln down with a snowflake style shot in the back of his head with not a word spoken, till, supposedly when he broke his leg upon landing on the stage, decried (like a snowflake) “sic semper tyrannis”! Rue that day, America! That was the blow that forever condemned the South to living in a half realized vision of Honest Abe's Union. He never got to finish his work. The North was deeply upset about that and the South bore the brunt of the angst. Lost causers are forever condemned to wander in a never never land of what-ifs. Sic semper snowflakes. They know there is nothing they can do to uplift the role of the South in the recent unpleasantness, so they bleat the mantra of Northern Slavery and try to spin cotton into wool. They twist “sic semper tyrannis” into a States rights mantra. Ironically, the States in the Confederacy had no sovereignty. It was go slavery or go home. The South did indeed pose a threat to the Union, and the South did indeed invade the North. More than once. Lee took the Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in a vainglorious roundabout attempt to attack Washington, DC. Had he succeeded, France and England would have stepped in on the side of the South, and the United States of America would have been relegated to the ash bin of history. Instead, Lee f’d up and got his ass handed to him at Gettysburg. Deal with it. Lincoln could whup you hand to hand, he could whup you in court, he could whup you in an election and he could whup you in a Civil War. He could out wrastle, outsmart, out write, and generally best any Southerner who ever lived. He was the greatest American who ever lived.”
Fascinating but appalling.
Oh, and by the way, I found something of interest that you should know. Even though the 13th Ammendment went into law after the unfortunate Fords Theater incident, when the House passed it, Lincoln signed it (even though it wasn’t a legal requirement). He wanted his name on it.
When you were digging around through old posts looking for dirt, did you happen to come across the one where I told you that you had lost credibility with me? You had falsely claimed that Jefferson’s colleagues had wrecked Jefferson’s long passage and shortened it, when in fact they had entirely stricken it. Well, you haven’t regained your credibility. Why don’t you go hit the showers now.
My feelings exactly toward most Lost Causer posts.
This often manifests itself as shrill accusatory/emotional responses from them.
