What's so bad about writing that you know that you'll be downvoted?

I find "I know I'll be downvoted" or "I know I'll be flamed" to be tiresome, even though I don't downvote them.

I'd rather be left to form my own opinion relatively freshly.

Also, (and I'm not saying this applied to wedrifid), I frequently find that IKIB* is attached to something which is either innocuous or that ends up being liked.
