Chase...you seem to be confused as to the purpose of SHAPE and the language that is used when some historacal fact is misrepresented.

As a member of SHAPE, I do not make policy nor do I determine what action will be taken by SHAPE members when there are instances of complete facts surrounding a historical being omitted from a site.

However, as a member of SHAPE, I am free to fold my tent and fade into obolivion if I feel that SHAPE uses language that is offensive to others when attempting to use accurate reasearch to educate many that are misinformed about the role of the South during the War Between the States. I personally have not read any posing by a SHAPE member using derogatary statements as described in your post.

Intelligent and secure individuals do not find it necessary to resort to name calling when engaging in intelligent debate regarding historical events with an individual who does not to recognize that history is sometimes not recorded in its entirity in books used to teach history.

Neither do intellegent debaters need to always "bait" a poster by requesting "sources" when a conclusion is stated after a poster had come to a summatation of the facts stated after reading many "sources". In many instances sources are a combination of a life time of study of a particular study.

Wise men's minds does change. Fools never change their minds.
