Aussie 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.

In 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.
