A good thing to remember is that no matter how delicious strawberries are some people just can't stand them for some reason. At the same time some of those people might love spinach and some might hate it.
As you keep adding things people might love or hate to the list you narrow people down into smaller and smaller groups until eventually (after many millions of things) you've got individuals.
The thing with b3ta is that there are so many different individuals here now that it is clearly impossible for there to be an overlap of things people like and dislike and so whatever anyone posts or does there is almost guaranteed to be at least a few people who don't like it, whether they say they don't or not.
Once you accept that you're never going to please everyone, the people that post things that annoy you or who are annoyed by things you post are probably best given little attention to. Their opinion shouldn't really upset you because they're not basing it on the same things you base your opinion on.
This is true everywhere, not just on b3ta, but this is where we are at the moment.
Hope that makes some sense.
