What the hell is that supposed to mean in English?

The customary "Scotch-Irish" psuedo-clan folk myths.

What are you smoking to get THAT out of the paragraph you quote? I
merely note the fact as it existed. The McCalls in that particular
part of North Carolina were numerous and known to be a touchy and
feuding lot if crossed.

Unlike n-thousand others in the same time and place? Or millions of
others elsewhere?

You somehow permute this into, well, I'm not
sure WHAT you permuted it into.

I believe you're selectively projecting your own preconceptions onto
the past.

Looks to me like you have a lot of your own silly prejudices you need
to learn to get around.

Undoubtedly, but they're not actually on display in this thread.
