There are some that do both. Almost always. And they live in all areas of the country. There are people with kind hearts and good manners and people with evil hearts and good manners and there are people with kind hearts and no manners. I was being defensive of recent labels seen in mainstream media such as "flyover states". WE ALL LOVE where we came from and when someone on a forum says their state has the best apples, you just smile and nod because you know why they say that, even if you know better, that your state has the best apples. It is good manners, to smile and nod at them.....

and by pass phrases like "sez who?", "big deal", "people who travel know" and "yep". Also this little guy is often used to wound;
