I wanted to clarify that my use of the word "vendetta" was meant in a lighthearted manner. I was wondering what was up with the recent threads, but no I do not truly think anyone has a serious vendetta for a state .

I actually feel the responses to Amy after she spoke up about it were what were the most hurtful, and not the OP. I can empathize with how I would feel, and how I have felt in the past, when people used sarcasm and rolleyes emotes because of something I expressed. It's painful. Any poster who does that should try to keep in mind how it feels to be on the receiving end of that kind of thing.

And that's my 2 cents, for what it is worth!
