Instead the Remainers have played into the hands of the EU with their incessant whingeing.

As the 'The Oracle' has made clear those who think a second referendum and a win for the Remainers would make everything Okay again - that we can carry on as before - are not thinking straight. The weakness displayed by the UK would be seized upon and we'd be pushed around even more than before. In fact reversing the decision now could cause the sort of chaos that Stolly is really worried about.
I think you misunderstand my comment that you quoted. The Remainers may control Parliament, but they don't seem to have much control of the Tory Party. So when I referred to "the Brexiteers in the Tory party who kicked the whole thing off" I meant the people who forced Cameron to put a referendum in his 2015 manifesto. The point is that if Brexit does turn out as chaotic as it seems to be, it is because the interests of the Tory Party were put ahead of those of the country.

And no, I don't support another referendum: much as I would in principle like the decision to be reversed, I do realise that doing so now would likely cause far more problems than it solves.
