an individual's personality is not defined solely by the football team they support. of course when talking about the sport, their chosen team can influence things, but to dismiss or insult somebody based purely on the team they support is ridiculous.
i would put it on a similar comparable level to ridiculing somebody's religion or being racist. the implications aren't as severe, but the thought process is similar.
My point is the Liverpool fans I know aren't very nice people, I'm not saying their personally is defined by the team they support but rather the people I have come across and have had the most issues with have been Liverpool fans. Granted it was a generalisation about your fanbase but that is based upon those Liverpool fans I have come across. People make generalisations about ALL fans, not just yours.
So if anything, the fact that I can't stand them and then on top of that, them being Liverpool fans has made me feel indifferent towards your club and entire fanbase.
as i said, the severity isn't the same; it is obviously worse to be racist than it is to stereotype a liverpool fan, but the intentional discrimination is an almost identical thought pattern ,which is what i'm getting at.
i assume now you'll completely ignore any intellectual component here and try to wum?

i don't argue that point - if you've only met annoying, insurrerable liverpool fans, you will be conditioned to believe they are all like that until you are genuinely proven wrong.
but as an organism with higher cognitive functioning, you should be able to logically see and understand that not all liverpool fans are the same annoying, arrogant people.
NO ONE separates Arsenal fans though, so don't expect people to do that for you lot.
As I said in my post after, the ones I know are just awful to be around, I'm yet to come across a decent Liverpool fan so from my experience they are all annoying. If one happens to not fit the norm then by all means I will change my view but until then, I won't.
You can't know for certain that there is no single fan that does not seperate Arsenal fans, I've seen some fans that praise Arsenal fans and criticise only the fickle ones. Fair enough though, you certainly have received a lot of abuse from your local Liverpool fans. I can understand from personal experience, some United fans gave me a hard time...

I hope to be proved wrong on that front, and like I said, once I do, I expect my views to change, but I'm still waiting.
