A cold reading technique for referencing a love-them-or-hate-them character
"Obviously they have their own… particular perspective. But what I like is…"
Or "there are some things I like and some things I dislike, but…"
If they love them they'll forget the caveat.
Anyone else will think, what a curious, open thinker.
Someone who hates them will think, "hmm, that's a good point, I guess I was writing that thinker off entirely but they have a few good ideas."
