No idea to be honest but RAWK is their biggest independent forum, they have a large fan base and the majority of them are not from Merseyside but from anonymous non descript places they seem to want to be part of some imaginary scouse mythos. they want to identify with the culture
We all know that the internet attracts sundry weirdos and fruitcakes and LFC seems to have attracted them in some number their whole identity is tied up in the aforementioned scouse mythos, even when things are going well they still need an enemy, this time it's us, there will be others that's how cults work
I know plenty of Liverpool fans (including family) who are decent normal people (same for United fans) and banter is just part of football culture but when your life starts get effected by the game to the extent that you want a perceived rivals stadium blowing up or death and injury to them, I would say that it's time to give up the game your mental stability and happiness is worth far more than what is just a passionate pastime for the majority
Like I said before they knew exactly what they were doing when they set this hare running and it's going to take a herculean effort to calm it all down again
