Well I'm sure you are concerned about the split in the fan base but the general dissuasion was about the bitch slapping going on between the muppets on both sides

But even on the split I am less than sympathetic, I don't understand the mindset of people who seem satisfied with how things are going. But I'm more curious than angry and like to understand where they are coming from.

Largely it appears that it's hyperbole vs hyperbole, and people becoming more entrenched in their views to counteract the perceived inflexibility of the opposing argument. And actually if you discuss it with people long enough you find there are more areas of agreement than disagreement. So essentially it is bickering for the sake of bickering.
