 "But I wonder about giving these fringe elements too much attention, and, after having reviewed some of their blogs and a Facebook page over the past few weeks ... I have come to the conclusion that to feature these groups and blogs is in fact to grant them a sort of recognition and legitimacy that they do not deserve.... I think that to give these fringe ranters undue attention is a disservice to the South and all southerners. Other bloggers may continue to draw attention to these folks, but, aside from highlighting specific examples of research claims, I will let them languish and stew in their own scalding juices of hate and resentment."

The very next day, he posts about the League of the South, and two days later, he devoted an entire blog post to .... ME!

And a mere four months later, on December 29 2011, he made the first of his 242 Virginia Flagger posts (including mentions or comments), the most recent of which was posted on December 31, 2014.

Somehow, I don't think he meant what he said on August 11, 2011
