Just what defines a Flatlander

This is up for interprutation as there are many different views. When I think flatlander, I think of someone with a suburban state of mind, who is hopefully here to slide into a more rural culture and appreciate what's around us. Doesn't always work out that way. And it certainly is not specificly a geographic reference because I know enough of my fellow natives who fit in quite well with the same visitors they are critical off. It's often meant as a derogatory term and is best not used.
