I think that hometown cheering is ok.  What I object to are boors (not the
person who wrote the above letter, but the Cubs fan who started this)
who jump in and put down teams and their fans when they're having some
harmless fun.  If we Mets fans were enjoying the team's start, how is that
hurting anyone else and why should someone jump in at the first sign of 
faltering and gloat.  I haven't mentioned a name, but the person I'm referring 
to knows who he is and so does everyone else.
