(not OP)
As a German, I might be used to a lot more rough-and-tumble language, but OP's statement sounds much like the sort of thing I'd hear at a social gathering. You know, a personal opinion? That, in a dialogue, one could bond (or not) over? Which might lead to a social bond (or not?)
- AussieWog93 5y agoAussie here, so also probably used to slightly rougher langauge than the Yanks. I think the problem with these "I don't like x" posts online is that they attract miserable, jealous and bitter people and go downhill fast. Very different to a comment between two people in a pub environment, where the most likely outcome is some jokes about the riders' (lack of) balls or a jovial discussion about whether or not wearing lycra makes you a wanker.
- nikanj 5y agoIn a pub setting, you might want to signal the topic doesn't interest you, so that your friends hopefully change to a topic more interesting. On an online forum, there is absolutely no limit to parallel conversations. Letting others know a topic is uninteresting is wholly unnecessary.
