I've hung out in other companies' crew rooms, and I've had pilots/employees of other companies hang out in our crew rooms. Just because we don't all work at the same company, doesn't mean we shouldn't be cordial to one another.
The airline industry is a small one, and getting even smaller by the day.
The pilot you kicked out of the crewroom today, might be the one interviewing you tomorrow. Regardless, you never know who is listening or watching.

I would hope it wouldnt come down to kicking someone out.
One more question is how can your company have a base in EWR and they have no crew room set up for you? That is the lowest level of QOL.

Not really, not until you guys stop doing our already low paying jobs for less. I hope that all non-union Q400 crews in EWR realize this. I haven't met a XJT person yet that is excited about being undercut.
Next up you guys wanna sleaze around our crew rooms because your employer is too cheap to give you guys one.

You should be getting paid more than us to fly a larger aircraft. I don't care what kind of engines it has, it's the revenue it produces.
You guys got the contract because Continental found cheaper pilots to fly larger, more fuel efficient airplanes. ExpressJet pilots wouldnt have taken that flying at the rates and work rules you guys ***** around with.
Should a NWA DC-9 crew make less because their aircraft is inefficient? What logic you have!

Colgan do you guys get per diem on day trips like the rest of the profession? I bet it would be nice to have money to buy food to eat in your EWR crew room. Oh, wait.

I'm not going to argue that the RJ is more fuel efficient than the Q400. It isn't.
