I might alienate both boards and end up without a home, but this needs to be said. If nothing else, I may single-handedly end the feuding by giving you all a single target to dislike.
It’s pretty ugly on both boards.
On KC.COM we have variations on the “Don’t let screen door hit you” and “We few, we happy few” speeches. Those who left are ________ [insert insult here: pompous, conceited, so forth] and those who remain are _________ [insert complement here: loyal, steadfast, so forth].
On CHIEFSPLANET.COM we have variations on the “Can you believe how the old BB has gone downhill”and “I sure hope __________ [insert least-favorite BB citizen here] doesn’t come over here” posts. Those who left are __________ [insert compliment here: brave, courageous, so forth] and those who remain are ___________ [insert insult here: pathetic, glory-seekers, so forth].
It is sad that this has to be an adversarial thing. However, there will be no end to it until the sniping stops. That includes wistful “lawnmower” parables and “good riddance” comments as well as “free at last” and “psst, guess what they’re doing back home” ridicule.
Everyone claims to want to move on, but simply cannot resist that last little dig at the “enemy.” If you truly want to move on, then just shut up. No more clever digs, no more “I shall take the high ground” speeches, no more “yeah, buts.” Just stop it. Now.
There is no high moral ground to be had, so you might as well stop scrambling for it.
