I loved your explanation. So that's what it is----a sport, a pastime! And I thought it was just because they didn't like Charlotte. The only problem is they whine about everything. It's not just the weather they don't like. The schools, the shopping, the traffic, the restaurants, nothing is good enough for them. They even started a big ruckus last year because none of them liked the bread at the local grocery store. The bread, mine you! It wasn't what they were used to "up north." So now we have different bread. When will it stop? And they wonder why people here are not friendly to them. Maybe they need to stop complaining so much. I think Charlotte is a beautiful place. I'm not complaining! Sorry, didn't mean to get on my soapbox, but I needed to get that off my chest.
