Have any of you seen what appears to be the latest tactic of the yankee crowd around here? Look at the keywords at the top of the thread:

"CAUSES OF THE WAR; CIVIL WAR; CONFEDERACY; DIXIE; EGO POST; MCPHERSON; NOTHING NEW HERE; REBEL RANTINGS; SOUTHRON PROPAGANDA;"

I originally included the first four terms. The rest were added using the "add keyword" feature by a yankee.

If I am not mistaken, I do believe such behavior reasonably qualifies as an abuse of FR. I have little doubt that the "add keyword" function is not intended to be used as an a place to voice political opinion about a thread or to flame the thread's author. The proper place for the former is in the thread, whereas the latter is not proper on FR despite the fact that it does occur.

Needless to say it is typical yankee arrogance rearing its ugly head - unable to debate an issue on its facts and merits, they resort to calling it names.

It looks like the moderator took care of business, bump.
I would also like to add to my previous post, the two independent unions would have been one in most conflicts.
The old, I can talk bad about my brother, but you can't.

To all:

I might not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it.
