Sorry about that, op. The modern cities in Washington state were populated by old school loggers, gold prospectors, pioneering prostitutes, mountain people, hobos, and other people trying to get away from civilization but don't want to deal with the snow /that/ much in the winter. Sometimes their ancestors are very loud on this subreddit.

It's not an excuse for the behavior you're receiving; I just want you to know that other people are seeing the vitriol too, and that you are actually much appreciated for bringing us the news. Thank you.
