I think I realized that passion is pointless, as it doesn't do an ounce of good to change the outcome of the games; it only makes me more angry and depressed if that outcome isn't what I wanted. If I stay level headed I can just enjoy the game.
Loyalty? Forever. Passion? Not so much.
Sidenote: I generally let people complain to their heart's content without criticizing them personally because in most cases, it's a coping mechanism. Some people cope differently than others. I think "ignoring" users is kind of lame, but if that's what you must do in order to have someone's complaining not affect you, by all means do that instead of being insulting.
Let's not act superior because we're not complaining when someone else is. People are different.
