I was born and raised in SE Virginia and have a father and uncle who were in the Corps at VT and served in WWII- so I suppose I'm more Hokie than most.

With that said in my deciding who or who does not have Hokie "values" or "culture" I don't give a DAMN what they sound like, whether they have lived in an urban, rural , or suburban area , what the color of their skin is, what there religion is and so-on. In fact I tend to get pissed off when people imply some sort of litmus test to what a Hokie is or isn't.

None of this RJ is meant to be personal but you triggered a hot button of mine.

I expect Will or Chris to eventually nuke this but it is well worth it to me to have my say.
