sarasmom, apparently you've had an unpleasant experience in your brief stay in North Carolina; if so, as a several-generation native, I truly regret that. But I must say I am perplexed by your attack.
Let's review. I posted what was clearly (or so I thought) a piece of satire concerning the difficulties being experienced by North Carolina State University in hiring a new basketball coach. I thought it was a fairly clever piece; I expected that I would get a rise out of State fans, and in this I was not disappointed. All in good fun.
You, however, chose to use the article as an excuse to launch a blanket attack on the entire state. While of course I disagree with your opinion of North Carolina as "just an all around bad place to live," I am more perplexed as to why you picked this particular spot to open fire. What under God's yellow sun does your response at post 3 have to do with the thread's subject?

Lots of people work out personal issues on the internet, SNC; you know that by now.

"What under God's yellow sun does your response at post 3 have to do with the thread's subject?"
The first sentence caught my interest:
"Having seen Texas Rick Barnes and Memphis John Calipari spurn their offers in recent weeks to take over NC States basketball team"
The balance of my posts on this thread are in reply to a few FReepers from North Carolina.
Not one of whom I met while here, although I have encountered several NC Freepers who are exceptionally nice people.
Hense my statement on #3 that the "natives are nice".
Which I would modify in retrospect as: "some of the natives are nice".
