However, I do have to ask, did you miss the following in my post, emboldened for easy discovery:

"And a reason why some of us will never go to Texas." is easily construed as hate for Texas, because it is often used by the haters here on DU.

If you don't want to be accused of hating a state, restructure the way you write your sentences so that they cannot be misinterpreted that way.

What part of what I said did you not understand or comprehend?
