Your arguments have dwindled into childlike stubbornness. Outside of Pennsylvania, you would be in a tiny minority of people who watched that game and didn't think the officiating grossly favored the Steelers. I think Aaron Schatz from FoxSports stated it well:

Pittsburgh fans may say this is sour grapes. So throw out anything that any Seattle fan has to say. But I have never seen anything like this in terms of fans of the other 30 teams taking to the Internet and complaining about the result of a game. People who had nothing to gain from the Seahawks winning. People who picked the Steelers in many cases. Fans of the other 30 teams are not supposed to complain about the result of a Super Bowl. Something went wrong.

Well, since Aaron Schatz (WTF?) has handed down his truth from on high, I suppose the matter is settled. Stubborn insistence on the truth might seem childlike to you or the great Schatz, but I cannot help that misapprehension.

It's one thing to have an opinion or to complain. But to do so from an ignorance isn't a real strong position. Countless times the rules of football have been explained. Countless times the correctness of "controversial" calls have been demonstrated. Countless times the "bad" calls in Seattle's favor have been overlooked.

At some point, you have to factor in the severe hatred for the Steelers many other fans have. A columnist in Dallas may have predicted the Steelers to win, but that does not make him a Steeler partisan.
