Since the origin of the term 'Yankee' is uncertain, and it's abbreviated form 'Yank' is derived from this, it is a term of endearment. The only reason that it is sometimes considered to be derogatory, is because of later propaganda.
However, one should be careful with it's usage. Not all Americans appreciate being called a Yank (some are more accepting, in the correct context). It would be somewhat like calling a person who lives in England, with English ancestry, a 'Scot'.
If, perchance, you are an American who is offended because someone called you a 'Yank', then simply correct them. Respond with something like; I'm not a 'Yank', I'm from (name the state), or I'm a Mississippian, etc., or I live South of the Mason and Dixon Line you moron.

You are in direct violation of Rule #8.

He made the mistake of underestimating me and now he's losing ground.
He can't do anything to me and he knows that. I don't care if he's really just a troll getting his jollies on or if he truly believes what he's saying. Heck, I don't even care if he's telling the truth and there really are "shadow-beings" out there that he's made friends with. It doesn't matter because neither he nor they can touch me.

Primarily, because you had demanded your 'rights', refused to accept advice, continued to act in contempt and continued to exhibit harmful, Unethical behaviours.
I have the right to refuse advice, I have the right to live my life as I so choose (as long as I am not hurting or slandering anyone), and I have the right to believe my own religion and have my own opinions!
Why is that so bad? Shouldn't everyone be given the right to live as they wish as long as they don't hurt anyone? This is the main principle of my Constitution!
So-called 'rights' are earned through responsible behaviour. Your behaviour has been irresponsible and reprehensible.
You are hurting everyone, including yourself.
You are slandering everyone, including the VHATC-L2.

That makes no sense whatsoever!!
I have the right to refuse advice, I have the right to live my life as I so choose (as long as I am not hurting or slandering anyone), and I have the right to believe my own religion and have my own opinions!
