Use of that word when talking about states, cities, etc. is not uncommon in the hallowed halls of GC.
And, I agree. Let's be kind to each other.

It was entitled, "Reasons why Texas is better than Nebraska" and it was started with the sole intent to poke fun at docetboy.
In an earlier group chat he had said that Texas sucks, so i went ahead and posted a thread of why i thought Texas was better than where he lived.
It was not meant to flame anyone and was a joke, but with all the apparant anti-Texas sentiments on this board it quickly became a insult fest.
Whatever, i'm done on this thread. For the record, i believe that thread was the only time i've (loosely) said some other place sucked. I've lived in Denver and Northern Virginia besides Texas, as well as spent ample time in nebraska and south dakota as well as NYC due to family. So, believe me when i say that Texas is the best placed i've lived.
*EDITED to add*
"nebraska" thread in question:
Reasons Texas is better than nebraska
threads where i have used the word 'sucks':
Rushing the field
Fun game
so i guess i did 'say' that Nashville sucks, but that was more a stab at Nashville country music as opposed to Texas music
