The only "pi**ing contests" that I've seen are a couple of posters who make statements such as "but I thought Pope was a disaster" after a win or those who come on a thread about Pope and start in on how they "don't wanna hear about Calipari" and "y'all ain't real fans". You also have the poster who continually accuses others of being "outraged" based upon nothing. I find this is usually projection.
A slight issue is that there is no way to tell tone on these boards AND some posters are wont to automatically ascribe or assign a negative connotation to any given post. This seems to be projection of self as well.
It's not always a "pi**ing contest". Sometimes, that is just how the reader interprets it. Most often, it's just a post with words that the poster feels best describes what they feel or think about a given event, situation, person or place.
Rather than assume the worst about others, why not assume that the person is just making a casual post with no ill intent. I understand that is difficult for many. It may simply "be human" to assume the worst in others as we ascribe to ourselves the noblest of intentions.
It is very easy to tell the tone of some posters posts because they always find the negative and cant also point out the positives. Most anyone on here can see that and who they are.

I see no one who does this.
I do see that some folks only see what they wish to see, though.
In the grand scheme of things, we are nothing. We are no one.
