The use of "Borington" is only a piece of this --- whatever term raisethehammer chooses to use that city, he has made his dislike and disrespect for it and its people very clear. I may be mistaken, but I believe that he once stated that he would rather make the trip into Toronto to visit MEC rather than to visit the new store.
