Kitso,
I understand why you started the thread, but that is neither here nor there. The reason why I was upset was because people started bashing a state that I am PROUD of. You say you're proud of your state, so I'd expect that you can understand why it'd be slightly insulting to have someone start a thread like that about Texas.
I can appreciate that most of your comments might have been about our football team...that is fine. But not all comments made in that thread were....and even if it were relating to simply football then it shouldn't reflect on the state as a whole. People, who don't even live here and have only passed through, felt obligated to add their 2 cents about Nebraska and most of it was offensive. And furthermore it was more insulting to have someone pick apart what I wrote (things about Nebraska that people didn't know) and throw it in my face and personally attack me.
I asked for the thread to be closed because it was turning into a slam session immediately...and I didn't appreciate it. Maybe that's not what you intended but I don't see how you learning about Texas history and your pride for your state means that Nebraska sucks?!?
There are a lot of Texas GCers on this board and lately all we hear about is Texas. That's great; be proud of your state and what it has to offer. I spent 6 months down in Texas and other than a few minor things (including my ex) I don't have much to say about it negatively. There's no need for it to be rubbed in my or anyone's face.
I just don't feel that I should be cut down for sticking up for my state...something yall do when ever someone has something negative to say about Texas. I don't appreciate people commenting in other threads about it and making it sound like it's all my fault.
I'd like to just leave it at this. I accept your appology...I did so in the thread. If I have a problem with it and want to discuss it with someone else then that's my choice. This is the internet, not a work environment. I try not to air my frustrations out on GC...and I'm unaware of what PM's you're referring to.
So that's all I have to ad. I'd prefer that this not turn into another thread like that. No one is trying to make this into sorority life but those who are constantly rubbing things in people's faces.
Amy
