I have - I’m indeed at pains to stress I don’t see the value in rehashing the same debates over and over.
Perhaps there would be no cries of “we told you so” if indeed we had mitigated against foreseeable problems? If legitimate concerns of the transition - coming to fruition - weren’t dismissed as “remoaners” by those in favour that had no solutions.
I agree it won’t get anyone, anywhere. However it suits one side of the argument - the leave side - to bog everyone down in nationalistic hubris rather than own the problems arising from their haphazard implementation of one of the biggest policy shifts in any of our lifetimes.

The nationalistic hubris, as you put it, arises from the remoaners droning on about the Brexit decision and the political arguments surrounding it.
We are all fed up with this, and the way to avoid it is to accept that the decision has been made and get on with it.
Instead of gleefully pointing out that something has gone wrong each time there’s a problem, why not debate how we might resolve it? Then we can start having decent debates on this subject.
Problems occur, problems get resolved. Like the sausage wars - finally, the EU has caved.
