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
