I would have thought it was fairly obvious that Wolfe and I where joking around anyway.

I would too, but I know you guys fairly well. I've had the same mock fun fights with Armistead.

My caution was to someone I don't know.

Nice to see non-biased moderators at work. A Yankee feels insulted and mentions something about Southerners and he gets jumped on. Yet I have seen so many groups of people get insulted on this site. Gay's, Muslims, Women, Blacks....In fact a thread opened after this one referring to Austrians as being Strudel Eating Surrender Monkeys and all of them being compared to Hitler, I see no warnings in that thread. Or maybe some people just don't count.

Biased, non-biased...I believe there is a difference.

As I said, his first comment, about tarring all with the same brush, was valid. I agree. I only questioned his retaliatory reply after that. If he was joking, fine. I have no way of telling over the internet. As I also said, my main intent was trying to divert another big fight. If I was wrong about his intent, fine. I'll gladly apologize.

As for insulting other groups, people have also been warned about that, and even brigged. The Austrian thread? I haven't said anything because I thought it was some kind of joke. Anytime you feel someone has been unfairly insulted, please feel free to report it.

And as for bias? I'm not a Yankee by birth or by location, but I firmly believe the South was wrong. Not trying to start another discussion here, just letting you know my actual bias, if any.

Well I understand what you were doing, as I have seen things fly out of control here. But for breadcatcher101 to call him a troll for speaking his mind was a bit childish....Actually a bit trollish on his part.

Coming right up, my mouth is kind of dry though...will take me a few to get up a good loogie.

The one time I didn't spit in your coffee, you accused me of doing something to it, because "It doesn't taste right".

I don't how but I missed that entirely. My apologies, to you and to him.

Well holy cow, what did I do?

I post a thread I thought was very interesting about a remake of a American Civil War Sub which I thought might be of interest. This IS a submarine topic.

All goes well until someone insults a whole region of the country by inserting data which had nothing to do with the post's intent. I did not for a moment get the impression he was saying it in light humor.

And yes, IMO he WAS being a troll in the last part of his post. My post had nothing to do with who won or lost a war fought over 150 years ago, and there was no insult on my part of anyone from the north or south.

Excuse me--NOT. I stand firm on my position.
