That's one reason I'm here, but in the limited time the mortality tables give me I'd like to find a way to present myself favorably to almost any crowd.
In the past, very few have cheered me on and a more vocal few have fervently hoped I'd fail.
There's no reason you should be a pariah accidentally simply because you have clarified your goals or gotten better at implementing them.
One possibility - your estimate of how many people are not friends to you. That sucks, but you can't force another person to be a good person at you.
Remember the right way to approach someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet, and apply the same principle to in-person interactions.
This is a much harder, and dramatically different goal, from not being a pariah.
There is value in having crowds that view you mildly and strongly disfavourably, but much of this value depends on the rule of law in one's immediate environment.
