For years I've wondered about this, and I saw mention of it in the chatbox just now, so it occurred to me that I could pose the question to the forum (even if answers will vary or go off topic, and the theories don't represent reality, blah blah)

Does it hurt when poor use of your polr is pointed out? Or if you devalue it, then when somebody says that yours is bad, it doesn't matter if you're not into it anyway?

Yeah, it's disliked when other people use it. I got that. But question is in the title.
