What the hell happened in here
Well, the way I see it, keltron was busy boasting about his state, Hawkmoon pointed out some of those boasts were a bit off, keltron snarked, I jumped in (because to be honest the whole "texas is so wonderful" bit gets annoying and I *heart* my state, so why not use such a thread to link my favorite musical) and skid picked up from there, to which keltron replied, excalating snark to outright snotty,
And, then,from there it seems to have devolved into a three way of "welcome" "wtf" and "calm down".
Anyhoo, welcome keltron, watch out for the mirid pitfalls of APS humor and maybe try to keep the state pride in check at least a bit. We have ourselves a bit of an international community here, and while it's nice to love where you come from, it's also nice to respect that others may feel the same about their own little patch of home.
