And yeah, there's a dull-witted possessiveness and entitlement to many of our carping fellow fans. Pure lameass egotism: check.

Do you have any people in particular you are referring to or are you comfortable with the sweeping generalization?

I'm totally comfortable with this sweeping generalization. 'Pure...egotism' is a natural thing for humans, especially white males arguing online. As for possessiveness, entitlement, and dullness of wit: dude, just read any Phish discussion forum (phish.net included, though I think the phish.net fora are pretty positive overall). For that matter, read nearly any discussion forum on nearly any topic.

'Lameass' is me editorializing.
