Gene Wolfe Fans Talk Politics (Again)

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Sorry, when did I say the American Civil War was justified? It was not. See, I've read up on it a bit.

BTW, in my last post, I meant to add a ";)" after I called you a wingnut.

You're still a wingnut, but I don't mean it in a nasty way. ;)

Google "US Civil War" and then come back and talk to me about "consent of the 
governed."
