Quote:Anyway, as for the "I'm not fond of X" part... I can still imagine some people reacting in the same way. They may for example translate "I am not fond of X" as just a polite understatement of something like "You're an idiot to like X" when actually what is meant really is what is explicitly said.

I think you worry a little too much. Most people aren't going to react in a bad way if you simply say "I'm not fond of X". I for one would never think that.
