Lol. To a hungry person, every bitter food is sweet. When the preferable is not available, the available becomes preferable! Very often the test of one's allegiance to a cause or to a people is precisely the willingness to stay the course when things are boring, to run the risk of repeating an old argument just one more time, or of going one more round with a hostile or (much worse) indifferent audience.
