How very consistent of you.
And though a boy might be raised by a stepfather for YEARS, and took his name, he is suddenly going to reject it the moment the old man’s heart stops beating, even if it has been established in the circle he moves in?
Sorry, I don’t accept your argument.
The many examples David Barrat posted are
devastating to the Lechmere agenda, because they show that average, everyday blokes in the Victorian era, who happened to be raised by their stepfather, very frequently took their names—even though the paper trail doesn’t necessarily reflect it.
But I don’t expect you to ever admit that, because you and Barrat have quarreled.
And climb down off your high horse, Gary. I don’t appreciate your attempt to imply I was being misleading. It appears the Lechmere crowd needs to fall back on abuse when they become frustrated that their ideas are not accepted. Now Fish is comparing Jeff Hamm’s thoughtful and well-reasoned post to a pile of manure.
That will certainly win a lot of converts!
Good-bye.
