JM,
I don't know what I modified, especially since it didn't take.
But after reviewing what I wrote there is a mistake. To correct it, I meant to say the following:
If Jessie had illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters and if they are related as Brett claims but can not prove, Brett's Great Great Grandfather still would not have been associating with his alleged cousin, Sir James Glenny Wilson because James was a Quaker with high moral standards from a family with high moral standards. I hope that makes better sense.
EM, please take care and read back through this entire thread. You have made some very strong statements that can be tested for truthfulness. You claim the high ground on your moral compass. You are now saying that you did not modify your own post.
I have already quoted the original of your post, and that same post, modified.
The final paragraph was originally : If Jessie had illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters and if they are related as Brett claims but can not prove, Walter still would not have been associating with his bastard cousin (if Brett's Great Great Grandfather was actually the cousin of Sir James Glenny Wilson), Sir James Glenny Wilson because James was a Quaker with high moral standards from a family with high moral standards. They were Quakers that didn't believe in war, debt and being louses creating children out of wedlock - you follow me here?
It just doesn't make sense. If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, guess what - It's a duck! There is no connection here.
as per MY QUOTE some 35 or so minutes after your post.
Some time later, you then modified it to: If Jessie had illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters and if they are related as Brett claims but can not prove, Walter still would not have been associating with his bastard cousin (if Brett's Great Great Grandfather was actually the cousin of Sir James Glenny Wilson), Sir James Glenny Wilson because James was a Quaker with high moral standards from a family with high moral standards. They were Quakers that didn't believe in war, debt and being louses creating children out of wedlock - you follow me here?
If you want to be louse, that's fine but you can't be both a louse and a Quaker being part of a Quaker family or be a Quaker and hang around louses. My family also made the Quaker Chapel in Hawick - so they were really into the Quaker lifestyle all the way. There is no connection here.
I have highlighted a number of differences ....
And now you seem to be saying you should have written that paragraph as:
If Jessie had illegitimate half-brothers and half-sisters and if they are related as Brett claims but can not prove, Brett's Great Great Grandfather still would not have been associating with his alleged cousin, Sir James Glenny Wilson because James was a Quaker with high moral standards from a family with high moral standards. I hope that makes better sense.
