My conformity in that respect usually only goes in one direction: if I liked a show/episode/book I might be gradually persuaded to see it in a less favorable light, but if I hated it, I dig in my heels.

I still remember the brouhaha on alt.tv.x-files.analysis when "Milagro" aired and I came online in a frothing rage, fully expecting the majority of group members to back me up. Instead, I found them all praising the episode and refusing to listen to a word of my objections. In fact, I didn't just get the cold shoulder, I got the cold pointy elbow, and that was the beginning of the end for me as a member of that group...

Huh, no X-Files icon. Oh well.
