Looks like a new thread was merged with this one, so my last post probably doesn't make much sense.

Actually it does make sense of nobody would have agreed with me. Me thinks some Austin residents are delusional about the town snd get offended when you criticize it

Because it's human nature.

Against Houston, we're Austinites. Against other states, we're Texans. Against other countries, we're Americans. Against future aliens, we're earthlings. Welcome to human behavior 101. :P

It's because Austin has the most close minded stereotyping individuals between all the Texas cities.

Wasn't the thread about why Austinites hate on other cities, not why transplants hate Austin?

I am kind of out of touch with current culture, but I think this is where you drop the mic or something?
