My comment was specific to those smaller communities, and if you'd quoted the entire paragraph it should have been clear that was my intent.
It is a fact one best not ignore that it can take a long time to be accepted in small communities, and in some areas you will never be fully accepted by the community. You can be the nicest person in the world and it still isn't going to happen. Even if you're not an a-hole, you might be in a location filled with a-holes.
