I've liked the Hugo winners that I've liked. But I didn't like the Hugo winners I didn't like. Much like I feel about other any other awards ... or best-seller lists ... or favorite lists ... or other readers opinions. No one else's zeal or disdain affects my own zeal or disdain.
One question though:

"The rest of the world" would be those who don't really care about (y)our preferred genre, though, no? Well represented or pride aside; no one other than the people who already care are going to care. Never understood why SF fans (of which I am one) seem to crave mainstream acceptance/approval of their "favorites." You discovered those favorites without approval from the mainstream, no? *shrug*
