There's an old saying to "read the room". It's the same online and offline. The reaction you get depends entirely on the audience present.

    Reading the room is about the tone you set, not the words you say.

    People just don't like hearing that they're wrong, or that popular opinion is wrong. Questioning themselves makes people uncomfortable.
