Have you ever noticed how there are a lot more people reading the posts then ever post? Some are probably people who just don't want to get involved in a conversation and would rather just sit by the sidelines. Others are people who are looking for an area for vacation or relocation. They have no idea where everyone is from and judge the way we treat each other by the way they feel people from Tulsa will be. There are a lot of areas that have forums and there are a lot of people that I know who read on them. Two couples changed their vacation plans because of the attitude of people from a certain area. They were treated so rudely on the forum that they found no reason to be subjected to people like that. There are some forums that post your state with every post you write and it seems like a good idea given some of the nastiness and name calling that's been present.
