First of all, I can't read every posting on all of the thirty-four (34) History-Sites.Com message boards, so I must rely on help from our participants and a limited number of volunteers to keep tabs on off-topic or inappropriate postings. Yours and Mr. Hile's postings were both opinion-based and inappropriate for the Texas in the Civil War Message Board, so I moved them to this site, which is for opinion-based discussions.
I would suggest that you and Mr. Hile not participate further in the News and Views discussions and that you resist the temptation to post or reply to opinion-based postings on the state and special interest, but "History-Only" sites, which is how your posting got here in the first place.
Thanks,
Jim Martin
