As a Maine resident who's secretly convinced Connecticut isn't *really* part of New England, I want a W team in Boston and I was excited by the original announcement. Your argument has such a sense of entitlement that it's making me want the Sun to stay in CT.

If it makes you feel better, it's more a part of New England than Rhode Island. Source: my highly scientific vibe meter

I don't know what to tell you - I just had my meter calibrated, and Rhode Island isn't registering at all. Can you double check your source? Maybe turn it off then restart it?

I'm sorry you feel such a strong need to disavow the New England underbelly but that just proves Rhode Island down there in the murk, while everybody else float above. I'm from Dirty Seashore Connecticut culture so *we* know what Rhode Island is. Dirtier, more Seashorier, Extreme New England.

I don't actually have any issue with either Connecticut or Rhode Island - it's not a value judgment. They're great representatives of the Outer Mid-Atlantic region.

Glebs, glebs! I once saw a ranking of US states on "most fun" to "least fun." Guess which New England states were in the bottom 10?? Yessir, Connecticut & Rhode Island were ranked among the LEAST FUN states. Dont be ruining the rep even MORE, bruh. (NY was top 10. Maine was...who knows, who cares)

What do you mean who cares?! Maine's fun ranking is fascinating! In summer it's in the top 3 - that's why it's called "Vacationland"! Unfortunately it scrapes bottom during the other 9 months. We do rank in the top 5 for most-need-for-antidepressants during that time, so at least there's that!

Dude my parents dragged me up to Maine almost every summer to the point where I might have the shops on Bar Harbor's main drag memorized I'm sure Maine is in the big hairy middle of the overall ranking of fun US states. At least CT stands out for being NO FUN. And New York? Top 5 year round baby 😎

Maine barely has electricity. Their residents shouldn’t squander it by disrespecting my homeland

We Mainers are adept at rubbing sticks together, and that combined with tin cans and some fishing line can give us internet access for up to 20 minutes some days! If you'd read the thread, you'd know your homeland wasn't actually disrespected. (And your reaction was kind of insane, regardless.)
