Why shorters "Don't get no respect ..."

Les,

I don't think shorting is quite as evil as you describe it. The only real difference between a long and a short is order of transactions. Both think they're buying from suckers; both think they're selling to suckers.

But the thing that bugs me is that shorts love to mock longs much more often than the opposite. Why the need to be so pathologically antisocial?

I'd love to see some of these shorts play the don't pass line in craps in Las Vegas and then yell "In your face, pass line players! You! You! You! You!" when the shooter sevens out. They'd get the living daylights beaten out of them in the parking lot.
