You are correct.

I tried but just consistently would be turned off. It doesnt help when my preconceived ideas of it fit the bill entirely.

I dont like ann coulter for instance. Shes the only far right conservative author i can think of at the moment. But if you were to read something she wrote, it would be hard for you to read it and soak it in without your preconceived viewpoints and political stances polluting your ability to follow her train of thought.

You would consistently be disagreeing with her view of the world and it wouldnt be enjoyable.

I would rather squeeze my dickhead with pliers than read a book from that mongrel. But i feel the same about this guy in the other direction.

Its not something i would enjoy basically
