Please stop, this is gatekeeping. What is even the point of open source if we are going to insist that only projects that reach a certain "proportion of praise" are allowed to exist? That would mean that only the projects that were already popular will succeed, and everything else will fail.
If they hate it, they can stop. Work on a project that has a higher proportion of praise if they need to. Work on proprietary stuff.
edit: Trying to guilt-trip people into not having strong opinions is not going to accomplish anything, though.
