This particular house was at least 900 years old, possibly more than a thousand. That's creepy.

I find old buildings rather comforting in that regard [the often unknown people who lived and died in them] it puts everything into perspective. However, given our baggage of ghost stories and movies we can all let our imaginations run riot in such situations, especially given the fact that old buildings often shift and creak. I stayed in one hotel [and this was a mere stripling being only 16th century] where the floor of the room actually had a slight incline - because of the age of the building.

So feel free to brag that you have won.
(Also, I didn't call you any names in that post, I provided a single accurate descriptor based on your posts here)

It was owned by actor Lewis Collins, and I was there visiting his father who lived in the older section. They had been feuding so they had a partition built between their two sections of the house. Weird family.

Really Stoic, that is nonsense. The ideas of CRT are being taught in schools. We have offered plenty of evidence.

I'm the opposite. Old buildings have a lot of unknown history that I find unsettling. Just up the street from me is a house no more than 30 years old. One of its occupants shot himself in the head there in the living room, and reportedly left his brains all over the walls. I know about that because I live in the neighborhood. Would someone 100 years from now know about that?"It ain't necessarily so

Or perhaps being abusive to anonymous correspondents online is form of catharsis which permits the individual to vent pent up frustrations on someone they do not know because of events in their real lives that have caused them stress or anger.

You aren't trying to make the same point about the Great Replacement Theory, are you? Because that would be wrong.

One that goes back well before the U.S. was founded and even before the first colony was even founded.
So yes, I was correcting you when you mentioned 246 years.
And technically, while we declared independence in 1776 and were "free and independent states" the country itself was formed the next year with the passage of the Articles of Confederation which were themselves replaced in 1789 with the Constitution. I figured with your love of pedantry that you would appreciate the exactitude
