I think that probably cuts both ways.There is a group of Borg that patronizes anyone who doesn’t just eat the cheese of every pick, every move the team makes, etc….it’s ridiculous. Any time someone has their own opinion of a player, if it’s not all black and gold glasses, they’re chastised and told how ignorant they are. I’m sure it’s part of every message board for every fan base.And I’ll bet those folks are just as bigoted in real life and with most issues. Sad. Is what it is tho.
My view is that all opinions are valid, some better supported and argued than others.
What I really dislike is the opinion which cannot be changed. If people aren't open to considering other points of view and willing to have their minds changed, then it's less a discussion where ideas and opinions are shared freely, and even if we don't agree in the end we can understand another's opinion, and becomes instead an endless gloomy-go-round of repeatedly stating opinions which cannot be changed and getting upset when no one else changes their mind about their own opinion.
Some people need to let go of some of their certainty.
