It’s not just looking for acceptance. There are 6-8 regulars who have a juvenile need to gain self-esteem from someone else’s exploits.
I get that we all naturally gravitate to support our representatives - that is, the guys or girls who represent our school, city or country in various events whether athletic or academic. We all love our guys and root for them to win, and we are a little bummed when they lose. However, a well adjusted adult realizes that their true value and self esteem lies in their own accomplishments not someone else’s. And they don’t take irrational views or have mercurial opinions, eg., wanting to see the true GOAT “move on”because we haven’t won the championship in two years or believing that being a former player qualifies them to do a better job of coaching or hiring staff than a guy who’s won 7 freaking championships.
But, alas places with a degree of anonymity bring out these types.

Do people who view themselves as a well adjusted adults that have come to the realization their true value and self esteem lies in their own accomplishments think it is appropriate to call other people juvenile? Doesn’t that kind of name calling negate the self appointed title of well adjusted adult?
That’s what I really don’t get here, if you disagree with what someone writes that’s one thing, but to call them names to bolster your disagreement seems cheap.
And to be clear this applies to a fairly significant number of posters and not any one individual.
