Geoblocking? I am in Brazil and all I see is this: The request is blocked. 0kEE0YwAAAADSrOoEHVCAQrfsFyH2VJaQR1JVMzBFREdFMDgyMQBjZTgwMzljZS04NTZjLTRkYzktYjgwZC02MzlhMDg1MmY4Mzk=

Brit here, also blocked, with a similar message, but to be fair, if that website had any good ancient artefacts on it i'd be over there to steal them in a flash, so maybe it's for the best.

That response doesn’t sound right, this reads more like a stereotype of Kentuckians. Can you back up your claims?

I find it hard to believe a government official would respond so unprofessionally.

Please keep in mind that real people live in Kentucky and joke stereotyping it as you have is both unhelpful to progress and downright hurtful to those of us trying to make it a better place to live.

I'm a proud Kentuckian, and I thought it was amusing.

> I know Kentuckians aren’t the smartest

This is more offensive than the obvious joke you're responding to. Unless you're participating in jokeception.

Sorry, my comment wasn’t helpful in the least.

I live near my birthplace in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. I've spent a lot of time in Kentucky, as well. I'm not "punching down" ITT. One way to "make it a better place" would be to leave a comment on the form like I did. Kentucky residents probably have other options as well...
