That, again, is not my jam..and no amount of it being their jam will make it my jam, nor will any amount of them not having an issue with it mean that I can't.
Whether it's your jam or not should be irrelevant. Nobody gets to choose where truth lies or whether people who "have" it are pleasant to us. A good analogy would be to listen carefully to the teacher regardless of him being the ugliest nerd with eyeglasses.
