In a nutshell.
More nutshells. It’s perfectly fine to critique the team, the club, individuals, as it is to praise them. I don’t go down the “names” used, because that’s not me.
The defence of team, club, individuals on the basis that you must to be a “true supporter” is incredulous, especially without giving any reason. “Just because I say so” is t really how forums work.
So @cotswoldred2, why not join in, have that discussion, you might find people actually understand where you’re coming from.
