I'm guessing you have no idea what it's been like, but I'm game to tell you that hating something loved by so many others causes a cognitive dissonance that can only be cured by complete silence. Or like my mother used to say, if you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing. So like a wider cultural appreciation for reality TV, Harrison Ford and Burning Man, when it comes to the Red Hot Chili Peppers it just seemed to make sense to shut up.
