Oh, I don't think it is that serious, really. But, there is a profound difference between southerners and yankees. Southerners have a sense of humor. We can make fun of ourselves. Just do a google search for southern comedians or 'you know you are a redneck if...' posts right here on FR. Now, do a google or FR search for 'you know you are a yankee if...'
It is a continuing saga of dam yankees vs southerners even to this day, mostly in jest. One cannot eradicate history. But, I will not have my southern heritage disparaged. If anyone mentions Sherman, I will be on them like white on rice. LOL
And yes, Swervie, you are mean indiscrimately.
