It's a head/heart thing. Each time I see a hate comment, the two go into battle but the heart usually always wins. On an intellectual level you know you're giving them what they want but the urge to speak up for your friends is a powerful force.
Anyway no more derailing. Have we signed anyone yet?
I felt the same until the inquest result two years ago. I had a Manc train driver in work who, despite being demolished in every discussion/argument we had on the subject (they really, really are ****ing ignorant you know - he still thinks Liverpool fans pushed a wall over at Heysel to get at the Italians and crushed them to death), still stubbornly hung on to the belief that even though it WAS the police who opened the gates, and even though it WAS the police who failed to block off the central pen (and believe me, that took ****ing years of argument to get through to him), it was still Liverpool fans fault for 'charging in' when they 'knew' there were fans inside being crushed... After the inquest, not just me but everyone in the messroom just sneers at him now when he raises the subject.
