Well, that's an unfortunate reaction.
I mean, I'm sort of the avatar of the unpopular opinion - but I never felt that was a bad thing.
Certainly around here, where I'm one of the very, very few people who's a giant fan of certain "mainstream" RPGs - which used to be almost sinful on the Watch. I think people have wised up a bit, though
Just because we don't agree about something doesn't mean your opinion isn't "popular" - or that you should necessarily stop making your point.
Unless you feel you've already made it as effectively you can, of course.
I certainly don't mind disagreement - and, as I said, I'm very, very used to it.
In any case, I think it's true for all our points of view that none of us want to - or actively support, hurting each other - or making some people feel bad about themselves for having another opinion.
If nothing else, I hope that much is understood.
