It seemed your post asking ABG why he was being defensive was more defensive than the post you accused of being defensive. Maybe the best offense is a good defense, or visa-versa. Sorry, for taking you down this silly little path, though not really. |

I may have taken an indefensible position and unwittingly been perceived as offensive. I apologize to you, the members of this community and to the American people. |

38, this is gvok's new tactic. Instead of baiting me, he'll accuse me of being upset, defensive, or even testy. Why, I don't know. Maybe he's bored and thinks it'll get a rise out of me? |

Hawaii was annexed in what, 1899? Texas joined the union voluntarily. |

You are just upset because I dared to challenge your theory that:
Actually, I only asked whether California was once an independent country. I then brought up the Conch Republic as a curiosity (which you seemed to take offense to). Now that Hawaii has been brought up you -- a good example of a state in addition to Texas "that was once its own nation" BTW -- you again feel the need to insult me. I think your posts speak for themselves. But I'm sure you and your posse will feel otherwise. |
