Dear people who read forum posts presented in the form of a letter (you wild devils!),
Part of the motivation for this type of violence is our innate tribalism. We tend to think this way presumably because it was so much more beneficial for survival to be tribal when humanity was evolving. It's sad because it's also part of the motivation for us Seahawk fans to highlight the flaws of our "rival" 49er fans. We're stuck in this paradoxical situation where it's a problem and the first step to solving a problem would seem to be identifying it. However, since we're Seahawk fans identifying it, we're still perpetuating a tribal behavior by thinking about it in terms of "us vs them" and ultimately, criticizing our "enemy". It's the same principle as our more violent friends with only a far less unethical degree of severity.
We're basically telling 49er fans something along the same lines as telling them to stop drinking moonshine while we crack open a beer and take a shot of whiskey. We don't want to stop because of how seemingly simple, easy, and fun it is to stick our noses up at our fellow people, regardless of how ignorant, misguided, and even tortured we all can be.
Yours truly,
Straight outta' holism and Ghandi and lollipops,
