Take a tour of the Oilers HF thread and you'll notice that 95% of the conversation cebtres around Oilers hockey while the majority of the conversation here centres around the Oilers. Can't we just be proud of our team and city without drawing comparisons to other teams and cities?

Yep, that's not true. There may not be a thread, but the ATL thread as well as many others become Calgary centric. There is a thread on the mains that is exclusively oilers fans with the title "flames goalies that bad or overrated D"... Something to that effect. And I've seen plenty of city bashing there too. Plus we could each tell one another a million anecdotes of entitled clueless oiler fans. Doesn't really mean anything.
Also, there are dozens of oiler fans on this site that rush to their team's defence and try to inflame the rivalry. Are they losers? Does that make them a city and fan base of losers? Does your coming onto this site and saying that we are a fan base of losers make you a loser? Maybe. I don't have the answers, but it's fun to speculate.
Have fun living in Edmonton as a flames fan surrounded by oilers fans while refusing to run your mouth when your team gives its rival the sweet sweet chin music over and over again this year. Sounds like a blast!
