It’s true from my own rather recent experience that sharing an unfavorable opinion can really blow- up in your face. I was totally shocked at the responses and personal attacks toward me (by someone who I would never have expected it from) when I expressed a personal thought about this subject. What was an eye-opener was seeing the extreme defensiveness and “wagon circling” that went on. That was a really disheartening experience.
Sometimes people can really surprise you.
