They should worry about making a good product, and not waste time worrying about the harping critics who I've found won't be pleased whatever you do.In other words, ignore that extreme.   Stick to the middle, possibly with a nod to the ones in your favor.  You'll still pick up anybody with an open mind, and won't lose your core with appeals to a fringe.</blockquote>
