Do I need to be Gordon Ramsey to be able to share my opinion on the cuisine at a new, hip restaurant, with a table full of friends?
Do you do this in real life to people?
Buddy - "I didn't really love the food, I don't get all the fuss about this place. It was just ok."
Fred to buddy - "Hilarious. This asshole only makes burgers and steaks at home and he's going to comment on a 3 star Italian cuisine."
Do I need to be a professional actor to be able share my opinion on this years Oscar nominees? Do I need to be a mechanic to remark that my car is still running like shit after a recent visit? Do I need to be a published writer to have the opinion that James Patterson writes crap.
I better not see you in any threads giving an opinion on movies, music, TV, politics, etc. Regardless of whether the opinion is positive or negative, it means absolutely nothing. I mean, how dare someone give an opinion on something without being an expert!
"I like the Milk Stout more than the Porter." "You're an idiot. You don't even own your own brewery!!!"
I guess if the thread title was "bands you don't like" I could understand all these comments, calling them "overrated" seems to imply that your opinion is more important than everyone else's.
But I also guess that I am just nit-picking over semantics, so i will drop it.
