how do you feel about the Red Sox?
Not a fan, and I have some of the same thoughts about that fan base. A couple of differences are that they kept it on the field. Buckner. It was tough on Buckner, but he is a player who expects some vitriol for screwing up and didn't have to go into hiding. I felt like there was less vitriol in the Buckner situation partially because what happened afterwards always seemed to come in to play with Six fans. Boston also had him come back to Fenway to somewhat of a heros welcome.
Chicago fans seemed to forget for a long time that there were many more opportunities to win in that game alone, much less remember that they had another game to win it.
If Alex Gonzales was the goat of that series, I'd actually have a different viewpoint on Chicago fans

Buckner's life was basically ruined by that play, because of the fans.
Also, as has been mentioned ad nauseum, most Cubs fans got over the Bartman thing pretty quickly and the rest have gotten over it since. And the guy has been invited back to games, to make appearances, etc etc many times since then. But he simply wants to live his life and doesn't want to make money from that. The fans are over it, the city is over it. Hell, if he threw out the first pitch tomorrow, the guy would most likely get the longest standing ovation in Cubs history.
