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.

Kitso,
You have my appologies for misrepresenting the name of your thread. Without using the word "sucks," though, that was pretty much the message I read into the post -- even though, as I said at the time, I was sure it was done in humor.
However, from the PM's I got after my post, I will tell you that there were people hurt and offended by the thread.
Take that for whatever it is worth. The same goes for anyone else who decides it is OK to take a direct frontal attack on someone else's home state, city of residence, etc. I think that's 361 kinds of thoughtless. At least some people didn't consider the thread a "little joke."
I will just reiterate this: I believe I've still been to everywhere mentioned before and since that post (although I haven't gone back to really double check). None of those places is perfect, and no place is worthless. Whether one place is better than another is purely a matter of what we are comfortable with and what we like or dislike.
I would go on, but to what end? No opinions are likely to change, are they?
