I think that's because you're open-minded, whereas most "haters" I've met tend to be VERY close-minded.
I'm genuinely quite pleased by that compliment
But yeah, the interwebs is full of very closed minded people. The worst kind for me are the people who can't differentiate between their personal tastes and actual quality. If they don't like something then it's just totally shit, they seem incapable of entertaining the idea that it just doesn't appeal to them personally but there's nothing particularly wrong with it.. And covnersly if they like soemthing it must be comepletley awesome and 100% perfect, again they seem incapable of entertaining the mere possibility that it's not that great really, there's just something about it that appeals to something about them.
If I spend too much time on the web, especially in video game forums or any page with a comments section, it starts to feel like I'm the only person left who can tell the difference and who can acknowledge that some of the things I like are actually kind of crap and that some of the things I don't like are actually quite good. It drives me crazy sometimes. Luckily I know enough sensible people in real life to keep me sane.
I need to stop reading comments sections and video game forums lol. You'd think over the last 10+ years I'd have learned, but nope.
