RE: [DL] Freeing the Slaves

["Mark Chiddicks" <Mark.Chiddicks@descisys.com>]

I have read considerably more than one book - however I do of course concede that those who know more than I do are better placed to comment. What however I do not, and indeed cannot know is who here is speaking from a position of years of study and who is not. If, as appears to be the case, you position is supported by a great deal of study then of course I concede the point - but do you expect me to know this through some kind of psychic osmosis?

Also, a common thing I have noticed on the net is that American and British posters have different styles of communication that often get misconstrued as abrasiveness (in the case of the British) or smugness (in the case of the Americans) but are in fact neither. There is no tone of voice or body language in this forum, and therefore its impossible to really gauge personality. I'm not the person you seem to think I am.

And you, sir, have a particularly stunted knowledge of the American South, the
American Civil War, an abrasive personality and the inability to even concede
that people who have spent years studying this war just might, might, know a bit
more then you after your one reading of one book.
