The posters that seem to be getting the most backlash (ateam, btw, Pants, Hoss, etc...) should all be taken with a grain of salt. A lot of their posts are misconstrued, because of their writing style, as condescending or an attack. Before getting yourself cranked up over a post, take a step back and realize where we are here. This is a horse racing message board, no more no less.
I'm not sure how ateam is a kiss ass, maybe you can enlighten me on that one. No one needs to come on here and find a thread that they made a prediction on, to say I was wrong. If that was a rule, PG1985 would get awful tired looking up old threads to say he was wrong.
Lighten up a bit.

If it were only the attendance that was the issue.
Actually I think the board wants to be taken seriously. I don't think that the main players "have time" for those they feel to be below "their" level of knowledge. Guys like DaHoss and ATeam are all part of what I would call the Pillow Pants Posse, and they spend way to much time attacking people in a condescending way, as you've noted. Nobody really deserves to be abused the way these guys continually pound away. They all do their best to emulate Andy. While I don't know anyone from the PPP, I do know Andy, and however he wishes to express himself on the board, so be it. The guy has more knowledge than 99.9% of the people posting here and I'm willing to take his criticisms, and delivery of them, because I would bet that whatever he was saying wasn't just for the pleasure of beating someone down. I'm willing to bet the PPP has about an average level of knowledge at best, probably no more or less than myself. But they act like they are Steve Crist, Andy Beyer and Joe Hirsch.
