I think that's largely a matter of perception and what horse you're betting on. On my side of the fence I feel like it's very difficult to say anything even remotely critical of Alex Smith or Andy Reid because regardless of what it is or how much you explain your position you automatically get lumped in as bitching-and-moaning. Similar to how other people feel like they get called homers when they're positive.
It eventually hits a point where I stop caring about people's reactions and begin ignoring a lot of replies or even entire threads. Which isn't really a productive thing on a forum for discussion.
