Do you see me and Jimbuna arguing over who was a Roundhead and who was a Royalist? Do I argue with Xabbarus over who was right or wrong in the Crimean war? Or with Hunter over the...actually, bad example, we rib each other about the Anglo-Dutch war and the Raid on Medway all the time. But sheesh, guys, I know the American civil war was a big deal, but at the end of the day, you're not the only country to have had one, some people really need to let it go.

Yeah but you guys are NASTY! I mean digging up poor Cromwell post- mortem to execute the corpse for regicide. EGAD. Actually my forbears were given the king's grace to flee to the colonies in 1745 rather than be HD'Q'd as good jacobites not in favor of the Hanover line of descent. Recently did the UK and met the clan head Kincaid! The house was a hospital in WWI. I do tend to lurk off Glasgow in my VIIB in my oilskin kilt
