Two of the biggest points of contention:
1) people that think just because something is popular that means it's good
2) people who refuse to distinguish between something that's inherently not good and something that's just a difference of opinion. this is something many folks need to reconcile.

Agreed, and there's also another couple of dynamics at play here, and that's those who say don't really like the flavor of peanut butter and so say a dressing is nasty because it has peanut butter in it.
Or there are those meat and potato people who are scared to try any different flavor combinations that they haven't grown up on, or they consider odd because they weren't introduced to it, or the strange words frighten them, and they think the food is weird or write it off entirely as bad or gross at a place, or maybe girlie or hippie, or pretentious or fancy.
Having a frame of reference is important in bringing perspective to things I think.

Just last week I'm driving down Cedarcrest and pass by that Poboy Express operation, and outside there's this big red flashing sign announcing proudly that they serve Manda's Roast Beef on their Poboys. 
Dead serious...
If you tried that in New Orleans as if you were proud of it, most people, and especially those who take their RB Poboys seriously would laugh them out of town. To some if not most people here, and I suppose their base though especially, because thats become the level of expectation, that's a badge of honor, or at least they dont see anything wrong with it, and so if and when someone who doesn't see anything wrong with that says they haven't had a bad meal at Poboy Express for example, I have to put the pieces together in order to get a clearer perspective of just what they look for in a Poboy and what I am looking for.
