I am agreeing that these feelings should be temporary. Godfather was the one who started this thread urging you to "Never forget" and to hold on to the pain.
It seems you've chosen to surmise his message based predominantly on a couple of key words. If you look at the overall context of what he's saying, the suggestion seems to be -- don't get your hopes up because next year will just be more of the same.
Of course, I can't speak for him, but this is my interpretation of his post, given that he clearly states:
"Remember this moment and you won't be in traction this time next year because you know its coming."
If that is the case, I don't find it at all unreasonable, even if others would choose a different approach. It's simply the tempering of expectations as to not be disappointed. You may choose a different, much more optimistic mindset and that's fine. However, to condemn and belittle those that don't exactly share that optimism or hopefulness seems to fall dangerously close to the "I'm a better fan that you" category.
I have no idea whether you intend it to come off like that; I'm just letting you know how it appears to me.
