Thank you for your response, Rob. Since you went ahead responded on Missbird after Martha asked us to take it off, let me just say this: The problem is not that I might be offended, it is that real people are hurt by snide commentary about their heritage. Innocent people. I am glad that in this country people are free to talk like that all day long on talk radio, cable news and websites devoted to that sort of thing. But I don't expect to read it on Missbird and hope I don't see it again.

My folks are from Ireland for Pete's sake. I just meant getting something for nothing, which seems to be a common theme these days.

But Rob, would you mind explaining to me how the "non-natives" who are members of my family are like house-robbing starlings and house sparrows? And further, the couple of times I've run into you I don't remember seeing an abundance of Choctaw, Cherokee or Chickasaw blood in you. Just exactly which less fortunate non-natives did you have in mind? > > >Reese Partridge >Jackson MS > > >From: "RubyThroat@xxxxxxx" <RubyThroat@xxxxxxx> >To: delta_gamekeeper@xxxxxxxxx; shelbyforester1223@xxxxxxxxxxxx >Cc: larrypace64@xxxxxxxxx; missbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Sent: Friday, May 3, 2013 7:27 AM >Subject: [missbird] Re: (no subject) > > > >Ouch!!!
