Has anyone ever put down Fluther to you?

I was excited about Fluther and told a few people. One said, in a nasty tone, “It’s a bunch of blowhards with too much time on their hands”. First of all, I thought “why the nastiness”, but that’s besides the point. I have time more then most as a retiree, but I love to interact with interesting people and I don’t always have the opportunity to do that on the outside. Fluther and the internet give me that opportunity.
