"At the same time, not being emotionally attached or otherwise associated with those positions, may help one's ability to not take offense to terms that are not used offensively."

There is absolutely no other way to use that term than in the negative and as a verbal weapon. It is only used to criticize, imply contempt, belittle, or make situations worse. At this time the only people who use the term are those who use it as a tool to attack anybody who happens to enjoy and promote Southern history or types of Southern history that the attacker does not agree with.

If you are not emotionally attached to history why are you on this board, why does it take you hundreds of pointless words to formulate your argument? No human is without emotion, feeling or desire, even trained historians.
