Fwiw, here's an anology that I think kind of illustrates how OP can 100% like the win, while also being a little wary at the same time.
I really like both whisky and bourbon. I enjoy them both very much. Too much even. There's nothing I enjoy more sometimes than getting together with my friends (who are real into bourbon) and having a nice glass or four. It's great.
I'm also wary sometime when I drink it because I'll inevitably drink too much, or drink it too fast. And occassionally I'll do both. What this leads to is a hangover and regret. And a level of hangover and regret you don't want to get when you're in your 40's.
So, at this point in my long-winded story, I think we can establish I like whisky (or bourbon.) But I'm nervous about hangovers. I still like it though.
Imagine this scenario between me and my friend, who will call Turd Furgeson (funny name):
---Turd Furgeson: Hey, Wes! I brought over this bottle of whisky to drink tonight for the game.
---Me: I'm tempted, Turd. But I gotta work in the morning. I'm just gonna nurse a few beers.
---Turd Furgeson: Man, you don't even like whiskly do you? You've never liked it. Clearly you prefer beer.
That would ridiculous of my pal Turd, would it not? I enjoy whisky, I'm just worried about the hangover. Nothing in my reasoning suggests I don't like it, or that I prefer beer.
This is how I view this debate between one particular poster here who is accusing people of not enjoying the win. He's the Turd of my story. It's perfectly reasonable to both enjoy the win but be wary of the future it causes.
tldr Bfine is being a Turd.
