I offered a follow up on the original story along with my own critique.
Your topic was GOP extortion. I get it. I even agree. My complaint is about once again bringing up the Civil War and trying to make it part of the discussion. This lets you make your assertion about the "evil Yankees" all over again, and no one can call you on it without being accused of derailing the thread. You added a side argument that states your opinion on a different topic, and it can't be answered or challenged within the context of your original topic. Yes, that is trolling, even in your own thread.

Is that not allowed?
Of course it's allowed. It's also very annoying when people throw in little off-topic digs that can't be answered.

The topic is a good one. Your take on it is a good one. It just has nothing to do with the Civil War other than in your own mind, and we don't need another Civil War thread.
