to characterize a difference of opinion as a willful obstinance is a bit much.
Probably.
My wife’s brother has an attitude of focusing a lot on the nitpicks of a film, and he complains about them a lot even if he likes it. I figure he would like more movies if he wasn’t so negative about them.
You’re probably not doing that, but his doing that colors my view when people vehemently complain about something I like or want to like.
