PP, I'm the poster who commented on the mix of mean and kind. I was being polite. To be more honest than polite: over the last few years that I've spent here, I've actually found more meanness in the midwest than in DC. As I've spent more time in the midwest, I've met more and more nice people. My guess is that as I've adapted to midwestern mannerisms, people have felt more comfortable with me, which is why they've been kinder. Growing up in DC, I've always been immediately welcoming and kind to midwesterners, and many people in DC are the same way. I think people in DC might be less resistant to "outsiders" than midwesterners are.

[b]And, by the way, there really aren't that many sitting on perches of superiority and looking down at midwesterners in DC. [/b]That seems to be a default setting for many midwesterners, and it's (mostly) just not so.[/quote]

Then perhaps you [b]ugly cows [/b]could stop using it as your default putdown, okay?  Because it sure is that way on this forum.  That and the South.  [/quote]

Example A: mean Midwesterner projecting insecurity about body image onto DC and the South.[/quote]

Exhibit A: poster who thinks she has DCUM telepathy and insults the wrong person.[/quote]

Exhibit B: poster who insults PP, posts to one-up PP and ends up with massive fail. [/quote]
