NY, I've been called everything from a cheater, a poacher, and even had my shooting ability questioned here, the last few weeks!
For the record, I'm not the one that came up with "peckerheads!" And I'm all for us sticking together!
Also, I'm a Louisiana,Cajun-blooded, Texas-born, Texan! ButI don't even mind being called a Coon-Ass!
So, I'd think "Yankee," and even, "peckerhead," would be just mild mannered fun! Hence the , symbol!
If that offends you, I'm truely sorry! I don't see you being that "thin-skinned though!
Imagine what its like to be called a cheater, and a poacher!
