Firstly, I'm glad y'all figured out that I never said "sh*ty south". I didn't want to have to accuse Earl of making this up. I have no reason to entrap Dan. Sewer Socialist shouldn't have created that filter without warning us
I initially asked Earl what I should know if I want to run in the South East, and he told me to ask Dan. I have no reason to deny any of this, and I believe Earl knew all of this from the start, so he's being sincere regarding defending me (he also encouraged me to create this thread, and AFAIK he knew I initially PM'd Dan about running in the South East).
I ended my first post asking for your thoughts on this, seeing as I agreed with Earl that the PM Dan sent me was a little silly in judging me for voting for Xahar. I wish no hard feelings.
