I'd like you to find one city on this forum that doesn't have members who are immature, who troll, start fights, and engage in meaningless boosterism campaigns. What makes Regina so much worse all of the sudden?

Disclaimer: Warning you are about to experience wild thoughts...proceed with caution.
I'll admit Saskatoon fits that category, as well as Winnipeg and many other cities, but Regina does it differently...obviously Regina has it's fair share of quality members, but I feel there is a disproportionate amount of loyalty and defensive and offensive self-admiring emanating from Regina...I suspect it is somehow related to the Riders, although I can not prove with any amount of accuracy that is in fact the source (If I were a socio-psych-history major I'd give you a really good guess).
My idea of SSP:
SSP is a place to simultaneously share, understand, enlighten, collaborate, compete, and reflect through knowledge among other like minded urban enthusiasts.
SSP should never be viewed as a place to debate and argue the absolute superiority of any individual city over another, or the absolute superiority of one particular ideology, policy perspective, artistic design over another (unless consent by both parties is given for an agreed upon debate and should minimally disrupt the ongoing discussion between non-participants).
SSP should strive to encourage it's members to carefully weigh and measure all the positives and negatives (no matter how awkward or initially discouraging and unthinkable).
Other members (including myself) are not interested in elementary games (unless that is the agreed upon pursuit), there is an implicit and explicit understanding between many members that mutual criticism and encouragement between citizens of different cities is the common denominator (we may bash each other sometimes, but more often than not we shall commit to furthering our city's potential on the global stage).
I am sure I am missing a few other guiding principles, but that's how I operate under the handle SASKFTW. Coincidentally, it is also how I operate outside of SSP, less the images of course
Perhaps we can reach an agreement over a game of 21?
