For folks who have been patiently (or otherwise) following this thread, a read of "Part Four: History and Pseudohistory" in Michael Shermer's Why People Believe Wierd Things NY, W.H. Freeman & Co. 1997 might be rewarding. The tactics and devices used by the the likes of the Neo-Confederate gang & other pseudo-history proponents are discussed at some length and Mr. or Ms. Casual's tactics will be easily recognized.
