I always go to my friends funerals. Otherwise, they may not come to mine...
Then watch what happens when they do move. I know in most of CO it never gets a warm reception these days. Also applies to those from Texas. Can't win either way.

There is. An AR15 is the syringe. (sarcasm)

Stan Laurel told his friends "If any of you cry at my funeral I'll never speak to you again !"
My experience with people who are snarky and sarcastic and ill mannered is they can dish it out, but they can't take it.

That could be that the people in CO and Texas assume that the new residents from California are going to bring the bad things about California with them instead of realizing that those new residents wanted to escape all those bad things and live with more like minded people.
Pretty bigoted and prejudiced of those residents I'd say.
Not piling on
It's been eluded to here but "not being snarky" is the start and continuing in the same spirit is "not piling on" or peeing in another's direction even if you feel they've aimed a stream at you.
Recently a forum member quoted me in a reply and essentially accused me of spreading "bad information" which I was pretty sure I did not do.
I wrote a private message to him defending myself. Previewed the message and deleted it. Not responding made me feel like their was hope I might be an adult someday. Good decision to just let it be.

This is actually kinda interesting. As a member of the Texas Ag Council we heard an excellent presentation referencing the 17K Californians that move to Texas every month. Turns out their move motivation is all-important with respect to how they may behave at the polling place.
A very well-informed political consultant presenting to us said if residents from California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey move to Texas because they are yearning for some business freedom they feel they no longer have, escaping regulatory burdens, they are very likely to reinforce Texas' Red State status.
If, on the other hand, they move because their company relocated to Texas for a more favorable corporate tax environment, so if they wanna keep their job they must also move. These folks are causing some concern with respect to bringing their left-leaning politics with them.
No one seems to know yet if one group outnumbers the other.

To be clear I was stating the feelings of many Coloradans about new arrivals from both California and Texas, they get lumped in together. On gun boards its complaints about laws, elsewhere its complaints (founded or unfounded) about poor land stewardship and raising housing prices.
Way it goes. Anywhere with a job market in the mountain west gets hit, people everywhere complain and go after the easiest targets, the ones with out of state plates you see the most. California is a beautiful state, and texas has the two best cheap beers (Lone Star and Shiner), there's something to like everywhere.
Google is NOT your friend.
That's our job. It can be easy to forget from behind a keyboard.
