When I attend games, I am kind to visiting fans. So I'm doing that.
I also believe that I have pretty good perspective. However, I'm constantly told that I have to do more. I'm asking what other tangible things that I can do to address the problem.

Two year hiatus on the rivalry game to allow folks to cool down.

At best that is a side-effect of the hiatus, but certainly not a reason for it.
