Why are bitcoin loyalists bashing ripple

I have been a huge supporter of cryptocurrencies and I dont seem to understand the divide between Ripple and bitcoin loyalists ..yeah obviously ripple is as far from decentralisation as we can get, but there is no denying the fact that Bitcoin is also not as decentralized as we think it is..why i think so..please read my earlier blog post , the link is below:

The fact is we need to remain united as a community..not get fractured by dirty politics played by the media, which is controlled centrally. There is enough space for both ripple and Bitcoin to co-exist.

Guys, please have a broader vision..IMHO, in the next 3 to 5 years, we are going to have a 10 trillion market capitalization of cryptocurrencies..so theres enough space for everyone..no need to have a dog eat dog mentality..

Wish everyone a very happy new year!!!
Cheers!!!
