I think his problem is an undeserved inferiority complex.
I know I marvel at the off the wall shit many of you people rattle off with regularity, and it's sometimes a little intimidating. Some because of your profession, a hobby, or life experiences, and one that makes shit up.

That coupled with a lifetime of hearing/seeing the entertainment industry belittle the inbred, backwoods, red neck, hillbilly stereotype, and inferring anyone from Appalachian/Ozarks states is one of them. It's not hard to see why people living there would feel the whole world thinks that way... but we don't.

Yeah, we know better, we've got members like Buster, Zippyt, from "redneck" territory, and they sure aren't stupid. Neither is Gravdgr. He's a little touchy about anything he's not sure isn't a backhanded insult, but smart, funny, modest(except about poker winnings), interested in all sorts of stuff, and a genuinely nice guy.

And I like him a lot.

Well said, of course I'm from Appalachia so what do I know?

the thing is, it's a bunch of different people. It's not one person who knows all that stuff.

True, it's just some of it is beyond what normal human beings shouldn't know. It's like wow that's really interesting, but why would any human being know that? What is it about that person's life that gives them access to that information?

I'm Team Grav too.
I actually contacted him during one of my pretendy Coping With the World periods to ask if we could exchange numbers and chat. For the accent as much as anything
He declined, but very politely, because he doesn't like to give out personal information. I totally respect that.

And no, we don't share a world view and yes, sometimes I've found things he's posted quite offensive. But no doubt he's retched at some of my views, and would do more so if I expressed them more forcibly. But he makes me laugh. And as Infi says, he has a cat and a scooter. Now that's my idea of a good Dwellar.
