Surely an over-reaction...albeit a conceited one. That cordiality you refer to dissipated in the 80s when Everton had the temerity to play breathtaking football and win trophies left right and centre....and the neighbours started to get somewhat restless and rattle their bin lids over it - our cheek in upstaging them. That's a well known matter of fact and, from our point of contention, especially when coupled with the European ban on British teams 'for you know what' which hurt us more than any club. Its an exaggeration to suggest most of today's Everton fans have a hatred of the RS - its on a par with the myth that everyone in general is a fan of Liverpool...we dont….and they aren't either. Personally, I don't care about them (...and Ive cleaned that up). If you're as regular a visitor to the forum as you suggest, you'll have noticed the dull regularity with which some Kopites think theyre smart coming on here. They act the Blue... with their googled stats and faux recollections of games they never went to and their posts pebbledashed with critical asides. More to the point is that at the same time, they're so thick to think that we don't see through them pronto and that they are merely being humoured and toyed with on here. In conclusion, you cant really blame some bona fide Blues smelling a rat sometimes.
