This is seriously unnecessary! This sarcastic mocking of people asking relatively normal questions doesn't help anyone...
Let me be clear. Absolutely, 100%, I am on the side of the Bad Boys and ZZD. I’ll argue with anyone who thinks differently just to try and pull them over to our side... but we shouldn't run away from stuff like this. In fact, we need to address it in a way that keeps those elements to an absolute minimum. Denying the fact that there are extremists among the fans—to put it mildly—is counterproductive. It just pushes regular people away from the group's positive vibes. The sooner we get that, the better for everyone. I've personally dealt with all kinds of stupid, unnecessary bullshit in the East !!!, and I'm telling you, that kind of behavior does zero favors in this messed-up fight. Let's just chill out, people. We need to rein in the "aggressive" crowd within our own ranks because it's hurting us. Anyone who can't see that these incidents work against us is a fool...
What's even the point of this post? Stop laughing at every single question or giving sarcastic "what do you know?" answers. Just give a mature response. The guy asked a legitimate question, period. Why does every single person who asks something that isn't perfectly aligned with our agenda have to be met with negativity? Every damn time!!! I personally saw a guy from the old North side beat someone up on a subway over something totally trivial. For what? And if someone else had asked about that specific incident, we'd probably see more sarcastic replies... We have to realize that we need to win over the neutrals by clearly explaining that the group stands against that behavior, instead of burying our heads in the sand and playing dumb just to defend someone simply because they're "one of ours."
