You called it an expensive paper weight. Insulting something that people like will often prompt them to defend it. It’s perfectly fine to not like something. It’s fine to point out objective flaws in it. However, don’t call something bad (which is essentially what you did) just because you don’t like it. That starts arguments.
To be clear, I don’t want to argue here. I just want to point out an observation that has impacted how and when I state my opinion.
This sounds like a “you” problem.
Did I say it wasn’t?
