This is a discussion board, we should discuss things

This is between me and him, Chass. Stay out of it.

Oh, right, like I'm just going to sit around while you accuse me of being a "yankee traitor". Enjoy your heritage, hater.

Not once did I call you that, that's all in your head.

All I said was you need to figure your shit out because you claim one heritage, but then when it suits you, you'll go and act like you're of another heritage because of where one of your relatives happens to live. All the while you're sticking your damn nose up at where i'm from and I'm sick of it, so whatever. I'm not just some country hillbilly and you aren't all high class just because you live near DC.

And yes, some posters on here are so stupid that it's a real challenge to make any sort of reply you think they will understand, but it's an interesting intellectual challenge to try

I know what you mean. Lots of posters merely play 'I touched You Last!!!' as if they 'won' something.

Sometimes, it's just that everything has been said already, and merely repeating the points doesn't add anything to the thread. I do know what you're saying here, but that applies to when the internet was a civil place, and mostly well-read people were the dominant posters. With the coming of Windblows and the mouse, obviously then number of utter idiots has drowned out almost all decent discussion, as has the discovery of the internet by political parties, who actually pay people to run around and post on these types of forums, along with internet sewers like VNN and MikeMalloy, who send their little spambots on the rounds as well.

Sad but true.

I wouldn't put anything past them.

Never heard of these places but ... nothing surprises me on "the internet."
