"A letter by George Washington portraying Halifax as a fate worse than
death... "

Haven't I been saying that?



We just couldn't keep the snobby Bostonians in the style they had become
accustomed to! Halifax was a garrison town/naval port....no place for lace
hankies.


Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston
Snop Corps.

I would guess that even a pig farmer from the US would have found Halifax to
be as G. Washington described.

I doubt that much has changed....evidence: Don White

First of all I did not insult you.

Secondly I guess you forgot.....I offered a truce, which you promptly
rejected.

Understand or should I explain it to you again?



I did not reject any such thing. As a matter of fact I let your bad
advice on the electrical cord pass without any comment other than to refer
you to the correct info. That was an opportunity to throw **** your way if
I felt so inclined. I think you enjoy jabbing at people. So be it.

Didn't say Washington was a lace hanky guy...I was referring to the
'loyalists' who left with the British evacuation of Boston, but found life
here a bit too rough. Most loyalists did quite well...swelling the
population of Nova Scotia to the point where the province was split in two.
The western side was named New Brunswick. The ancestors on my maternal
grandmothers side were loyalists from New York.

You most certainly did, and you know it.

Regardless, I will offer yet another truce to you.

Agree?

Now there you go again....... I've let you build up the score to make you
feel more manly, but without someone slapping you back down, you're getting
out of control.

You and Harry are obviously quite ignorant about what Cleveland has to
offer. But that is not unexpected. ;-)


Must admit...I've never been there. My only contact has been a poor
representative.

At this point I feel you are either a liar or suffering from some condition
where you don't know what you are saying from on day to the next. It would
be pointless to try to reach any agreement with you
