Then why were you talking about how specific states were not in the South as if it ended at a political border?

Either the South stops at the Kentucky/Tennessee line and stops again on the Georgia/Florida line or you're not talking about geography.

It can't be both.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because you kept bringing it up.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you need to review the order of conversation here and what you have previously said, implying that crossing an imaginary political boundary that separates one state from another has some sort of relevancy.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I never said the borders of the states were the borders of culture. They are merely convenient units to show the breadth of a culture. In fact I split states several times once we got to drilling down at your request. And none of this makes Indiana part of Southern culture. It is firmly Mid-West and part of Ohio River Valley culture built through the 150 years or so the river was the main mode of transport. In fact it's this same culture that reaches down into Western Kentucky. Which is why Kentucky is only debatably southern, switching depending on which map you use.

How much time have you spent in Indiana and where did you go?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not doxxing myself for Internet points.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Claiming that you will doxx yourself by saying how much time you've spent somewhere and where you went is some weak-ass shit.

"OMG, she spent 3 weeks in Lafayette in 2013! Now I know who she is and where she lives and how much money is in her bank account!"

Weak-ass.

I just don't care enough. It's not like we're talking about human rights here.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am going to take this absolute refusal to say where and when you were in Indiana to mean that you've never been to any part of Indiana for any significant amount of time and thus all of this has been you not having the faintest idea of what you're talking about.

So I guess I can move on with that resolved.

That's a funny response for someone who claims they don't care.

I guess that was a lie. So we have a lie and just basic bad faith discussion. Any other troll-like behavior you want to do before I end this conversation and report you?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but not submitting to your personal Inquisition into my life does not make me a troll.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Your response is noted. You have been reported as a troll and I will note and report your responses to me as those of a troll in the future and report accordingly. Please do have the last word to do whatever insulting you wish to do.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The only person here whose even uttered an insult is you when you called me a "weak ass".
