All of this.
The other issue(at least if the poster wants their opinion valued) is that when you are extreme one way or another it's hard to take the opinion seriously. It's like when Collinsworth says a player is amazing. He says everyone is amazing so it stops having meaning.
I also chuckle when people then claim to have known what was going to happen when something they were negative about turned about to be correct. Well you are negative(or a homer) about everything so by law of averages you are going to be correct sometimes.
