I could certainly be remembering this wrong. I apologize.
You don’t need to apologize. It would all depend on how “less enthusiastic” is defined. I have varied opinions on application and usage for varying circumstances that I’m sure, in some circumstances, some (many?) may place that under the umbrella of “less enthusiastic.”
 
Your opinion is the truth?
Not always. There are some topics in this forum which I have been adamant about, and people have ruthlessly come after me over.

- I knew Hayward was leaving
- I knew Favors didn't fit next to Rudy
- I knew the Conley trade was awful
- I know we don't have the players to get the best out of a Rudy system and the time to maximize a Rudy trade is now

I propose trades to address the issues above before many people are ready to admit that I was right about the issues. I'm not some Nostradamus. I'm often wrong. When people around here don't realize the "writing on the wall", they get defensive and lash out at me and use me as a punch line.

Just look now - nobody is coming to Conley's defense. Most people around here would be fine trading him. Last summer, I got roasted for urging us to move on.
 
- I knew Hayward was leaving
No you didn’t. Obviously there were signs, but that was still an opinion. Only Hayward can say for sure.
I knew Favors didn't fit next to Rudy
Everyone knew that!!
I knew the Conley trade was awful
You thought it would be awful. No one knows that for sure till it plays out.

Many have that opinion

That’s because it played out. Still didn’t make your opinion fact at the time.

Everyone has opinions get over it.

Roasted by whom? There was a small-to-moderate very vocal contingent who kept pushing the Conley is great narrative (look at the horribly cringey "Conley Haters" thread now). I would dare say most people on this board were against, or at least very wary about, the Conley trade from the get-go and fully supported moving on from him any chance we got.

So many people use this scenario to build their martyr narrative it's just silly.
