Alien does allow you to express your opinion, he didn't berate people who disagreed, or said they had no right to have their opinion. he just said he hoped it wouldn't be called boring. i hope the things i love aren't found boring by people too, but if they do, and they say it, i guess it just sucks a little bit. not much tho
