Apparently, Darcy is bigoted against Arkansas.

Apparently, Mr. 65.35.57.0 is afraid to sign his name to his inflammatory comments. --Tapin 18:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Darcy has no problem with Arkansas. The property owner, whom we politely offered to apologize to in person, is apparently currently in Arkansas. (It was his neighbor who was so angry with us.) --Darcy 20:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

(From someone who has Lisp Cycles pinned to his wall and was born and raised in and has retired to SW Missouri, pretty close to the Arkansas border): I don't understand what the fuss is here.

Was a weapon brandished at any of you? Where is the "anger", it's not at all clear.

Or did you just see some long guns in a gun rack in a pickup truck? If so, I assure you this is a very common sight all over the USA including here, and if you're going to be dropping in on random locations be prepared to see them. They don't mean much, they're a tool, much like a policeman's service weapon.

And all the points (for the moment removed due to a bad editing job) about groups of strangers attracting attention are spot on. Valuable stuff is easily stolen in rural low population density areas, so people keep their eyes open. And I've heard some insane stories of what people will do to get their hands on anhydrous ammonia for meth production, nasty stuff that needs better sealing than consumer grade tape provides (!!!).
