If I wanted to feel smart then I would do smart shit, you know, something outside of anime/manga community that doesn't add prestige whatsoever, as matter of fact the exact opposite.
I spend less time in this forum than I do in anything else, plus, what I do in my free time is not your business. Throughout years I made friendships with some of the WG users, I come and go, I keep in touch with them, I have conversations with people about things–not just one piece. Just because I don't like one piece anymore, doesn't mean that I'm forbidden from entering the forum, it's a very cheap way to discredit me with my visitation of this forum. Try better next time...
If they represent it as their personal opinion then ok. But when they try to convince every critic that it's the truth and nothing but the truth, then it becomes an agenda. Nobody should be ashamed for what they like, I as long as they accept that they like it for no reason, without trying to prove a point.
What's trendy right now is licking Oda's butt, the amount of people who criticize one piece is still the overwhelming minority compared to those who try to defend Oda with stupid excuses.
