A truly excellant rebuttle, my Lincoln-loving friend. I greatly enjoyed your civil and responsible reply.

I won't attempt to adress everything you said here, but I will say that I apologize if my blog post had a slightly militant sound to it. I'm a veteran South-supporter that has fought across forums and comment sections for a long while now, and I suppose I've gotten rather used to facing some very impolite people. As such, my message has slowly gained a harder, more militant sound to it.

Your polite rebutel, is not only excellant, but the kindness and graciousness you extend points out to me how overly-defensive my own post was. I should have been much more kind, and I would like to thank you for being civil even when I might not have been.

Also, as to my usage of Yankee, it's more Southern slang then an actual term. It more or less means "Northerners". I use the term Northerner and Yankee interchangably, and I'm sorry if this caused any confusion.
