I am pretty sure it is that Lee himself was not pro secession, but he could either make war against the country or against his own home state.
There’s a gap between reluctant treason and honor.
To him, it might have felt like treason either way. He was either going to commit treason on his country or his home state.

I have to say that if I were in a position where I either had to fight against the USA or fight against South Jersey and Philly, I don’t think I could chose to make war on South Jersey and Philly.
So was marching him through a crowded parking garage where any idiot could take a shot at him.
They thought he had assassinated the President of the United States. They probably weren’t too worried about protecting him too much.
They would be the dumbest people on earth if they weren’t too worried about protecting him.
Dead men don’t talk.

What the hell is that‽

I think I’m going to take a break from this place for bit. Lately it seems all I can do is piss people off and get in trouble with the mods and get on everyone’s nerves and they get on mine. This place is no fun right now.

This is why i asked you to clearly state what you want to hash out here, because what you might think is the problem isn’t what everyone else might think is the problem. in fact we probably all have different opinions on the matter.
The only thing i remember is that you went nuts with the sighs, but i can’t imagine you want to talk about that. (and yes, thank you for no more sighs).
I created this thread to continue the discussion began in the politics thread yesterday. Anyone confused by what the problems are, can go back and read the last few pages of the politics thread and the fight that broke out there.
so i guess this thread really is pointless then.
You are the one that advised me to “take it to the appropriate thread”. Now you are complaining and calling it pointless that I did that???

yeah, sure, right.
If there wasn’t an actual problem, what were we arguing about for the last few pages in the politics thread?
Well how can we have any meaningful conversation when one of us(Frink) can’t even be bothered to read the relevant posts in the politics thread?
We had a fight break out in the politics thread yesterday and today. Part of it had to do with me sighing too much(by the way note how I haven’t sighed since the fight broke out) but there seems to be more to it). Anyway, I just created this thread to separate that conversation from the normal political discussion of the politics thread.
The disagreements that occurred in the politics thread yesterday and today?
Sometimes it pays to help your fellow posters out, and in turn, help yourselves out too - this is a community after all.
Frink, carry on not listening and giving me and others attitude, I sure that will help solve things.
Nothing can solve this.
Ok, I tried.
I created this thread on advise.
Creating this thread was not the advice you were given.
Technically you are correct. The advice was to take the conversation the appropriate thread. I did not see an appropriate thread, so I created one.
Lol.
what advice are you looking for warbler
I said on advice, not necessarily for advice. But I wouldn’t mind advice either.
Frink, carry on not listening and giving me and others attitude, I sure that will help solve things.
I hate myself for even posting in this thread that never should have been made, but
To Frink:
How are we supposed to clear the air and come to an understand or whatever if you are unwilling to listen and read posts (especially those that are replies to posts you made)?
That will never happen no matter how much I listen and read the posts you guys are making. As evidence I present the entire history of your posts.
Sheesh. Ok. Thanks for being reasonable. Not.
I created this thread on advise. I did it to keep this discussion from interfering with the actual discussion of politics.

Hey. My image did not take up very much screen real estate.
…and I thought it was funny…
Now I can’t help wondering what the pic was.

Take it to the Appropriate Thread
Advise taken. I have created a thread to talk about the various problems going here. Please take the discussion there and leave this thread for politics.
Ok, I have created this thread to resolve our difficulties in the politics thread, and so that thread can return to its normal purpose.

Oh my god this thread and several of the people in it.
Calm down.
I didn’t realize my sighing was annoying everyone so much.
I didn’t (and still don’t, to be honest) think I was sighing any more that I usually do.
On page 498 of this thread, there were 20 matches for a search for "*sigh*. It definitely feels as if the volume of *sigh*s is going up.
One page and one post. Not really much to go on.
Valid point. But regardless of the numbers, the feel of the volume of *sigh*s is up.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
It would have been better. We would have still have to scroll through a lot of posts, but it would be better. If you really wanted to *sigh*, I think you just should have just made one post with the word *sigh*.
Then people would have been wondering which post or posts I was sighing.
It would still have been fairly obvious.
- I sighed nonsense posts. I asked a serious question about why Garland was mentioned, multiple people made jokes and I sighed them. Is this really all that unusual for this place?
No, but the volume of *sigh*s is.
Have I really sighed all that more often in the last month than I usually do?
It definitely feels that way.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
it probably wouldn’t have. although quoting a hundred things is still annoying, it isn’t annoying as quoting a hundred things, with a response to each of those things.
Well if I want to respond to a hundred posts, why shouldn’t I quote them? It avoids confusion as to what I am replying to.
The Garland conversation was the only discussion happening at that time, so people would have know what you were responding to.
But they would not have known which post or posts I was replying to.
I think people would have gotten the gist of it. Things don’t have to be explicit for people to get them.
Ok, I will try not to sigh as much.
But I still have my doubts that people would have understood what I was replying to without the quotes.
If the past is any indication having things spelled out for you doesn’t change your mind on anything once you’re determined to have it made up.
Yes I know you weren’t talking to me. Go ahead and sigh, you know you want to. But just once please.
I don’t know why you are pissed off at me, but I wished you’d knock it off.
