Then there is the other side of the spectrum. More than one Montanan didn't have the most hospitable response. In fact, several folks let their opinion of what they thought about people moving here be known.

The following negative responses were the most popular.

Of course, in the end, people will continue to move here and Montanans will continue to be frustrated by it. For many it comes down to this, don't move to Montana and think you're going to change it.
