so much for the after-taste

They say, if half the people in a group love your story, and half hate it, you've done a good job.

REALLY?!  Because I hated a story I read in my group today.  And despite a lot of people saying it was good, I'm still completely convinced it was horrible.  

And, obviously, that they're all insane and WRONG and I'm RIGHT.

I know liking a story is ultimately just a question of taste.  But when it's my taste in question, it feels much more black and white.
