I did and I do apologize for inadvertently knocking the North when I was only trying to describe the South, but that doesn't mean I didn't find your comments to be provocative in turn. Hence a sincere apology combined with 'trying to get the last word.' You seem to have skipped the apologizing part entirely and gone straight into trying to get the last word, rather than accepting the apology and leaving it be, which is what I would have considered appropriate.
I think at this point I am simply going to try and convince myself that we're having a miscommunication over what would be considered offensive. For instance, I cannot imagine in a million years using 'pretend nicey-nice' in any way other than derogatorily.
...yeah, no, Oklahoma is most definitely Southern. I don't know quite why you'd think it wasn't; it's mostly the Southeastern states that focus so very much on the Civil War. Then again, that might be why in and of itself, as y'all're in much closer proximity to the Southeast! I myself draw the definition more along the lines of current culture and language patterns; I find it to be more accurate.
