Wrong. I care.  I like to read different opinions.  Other opinions
are interesting.

Yes. It makes a lot of difference.  Most people spend much of
their time thinking about what other people like and dislike.

Then don't use the net.

It's been said before: don't try to dictate to others what 
they can or can not do.  The net is a system for people
to communicate freely and I oppose any of kind of attempt to
limit or censor others expressions (except if they express an
attempt to limit expression).  If someone takes the time
to write an article, then it  is interesting to him/her; and that's
all that is required. Intolerance is not appropriate.  There 
is always the 'n' key.
