Anne,

I've read your reply, but I don't see that it answers either of my 
questions. So back to the drawing board and let's give this one more try.

Are you bitter? I'm not asking about others or about bitterness you've seen, 
but, very specifically, are you bitter?

What name would you have us call the "Civil War?" You call it the "Civil 
War," but that might not be the same name you would have us, those on this 
list or the public at large, call it. Could you please be more specific?

I am glad to read that Southerners gave you and your "sister" a good laugh. 
:-)
[The word "sister" is in quotes because I am unable to determine if she is 
your biological sister, a relative, a friend, or a generic term applied to 
another female.]
