You didn't really pay attention to it, dispelling would not be the word to be used.
You know, you just need to end this endless posting **** you do. Yes, it's a free country.
You can't see what's in front of your face, nor can the limousine liberals along 95. Maryland, from Anne Arundel County south, across the Bay to the Eastern Shore up through southern Delaware is, and continues to be, Southern in politics, Southern in tradition, Southern in speech patterns and Southern in mind set.
To show how moronic people are, there are people here in Southern Maryland who wish that it stopped being referred to as such. The word "Southern" makes them feel "bad" and "dirty". Would you be in that group? It seems so.

I don't think you read the title of the video correctly.
Myth 8: Maryland is not a southern state.
In other words, the video is dispelling the myth that Maryland is not a southern state. I'll forgive your misreading.
But I suppose Baltimore could be a non-Northeastern city surrounded by the Northeast, including all of Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore.
I have searched the Internet and other City Data polls/thread - the example you cite (and continue to cite, repeatedly) is the only example of a majority of people calling MD southern. Everything else I find shows a landslide vote of MD being northern.
I think you are just way in the minority. There's nothing wrong with that and doesn't necessarily mean you are wrong. But it is very clear that most people by a wide margin think MD is northern. As a foreigner living in MD I have to agree - I see nothing southern about Maryland (or Delaware or southern New Jersey) even in supposedly "southern" places like the eastern shore and Calvert county. Now Virginia, that's a different story! Thanks for your opinions and your vote!

That poll is actually from the Baltimore forum. If you wanted to know what the Bronx was like, would you go ask people in the Denver forum? No. You would ask New Yorkers because they know their city better than anyone else. Similarly, if you want to know about Maryland, and Baltimore specifically, you would go to the Baltimore forum. Makes sense, right?
Furthermore, the only scientific poll ever taken on the issue, by the Poli Sci Department at the University of North Carolina, showed that 40% of Marylanders said their community was in the South. That's pretty reliable evidence. I mean, when we look at how candidates are performing in political contests, we don't turn to City-Data, we turn to pollsters who are constructing samples.

Ewww...
I really dont want to argue with you. I have a full time job, a boyfriend, and much more important things to care about other than if MD is northern or southern. You seem like a really argumentative controlling person and I think you are taking the fact that most people consider MD northern way too seriously. How many posts do you think youve made on the subject? 5,000? 6,000? Do you feel any more validated? If are sure, why do you keep obsessing over the question and having to fight the consensus of every thread on the topic?
Why you are so invested in the question is beyond me. You arent from Maryland, dont live in Maryland. It is pretty obvious you are taking on a very uphill battle. I have lived here for 4 years, no one I know considers themselves southern (and I have asked after seeing you argue how "southern" MD is). They look at me like I have 10 heads when I ask that. Maybe there are backwoods areas I havent been to that are cultural anomalies but I havent seen or heard of it yet. Every post with a question about Md's southernness has you posting endlessly about your own point of view and rejecting everyone else's if they disagree. You even made a sarcastic troll thread "is Pennsylvania northern" as soon as I made this one and it was clear most people think MD is northern....Wow, so mature and classy, I bet you have to beat the girls away with a stick.
Here is another CD polls in the MD forum saying MD is not southern:
