That's Enough For Me

I was reflecting on how there are more posts on this site from 'fans' who disparage Morrissey than there are those who support him.
It got me wondering as to what era this dissent started creeping in.
I know much of it is simply posted to counter balance the sycophants who then up their level of blind adoration in similar rebellion.
Before the internet's widespread adoption though, I remember fans at concerts and in fanzines starting to criticise the musical output during the Southpaw era.
Many had got tired of the Alain Whyte 'Unisong' where you knew what it sounded like before you heard it. Many fans yearned for Moz to seek a new songwriting foil as they'd been spoiled by Marr, Reilly and Street's output prior to that point.
It was also felt that Moz had stopped caring about the high standard of composition and lyric that had gained him his fame and following to begin with.
Interestingly, many now yearn for the return of Whyte, probably due to his era being the one in which they became a fan.
When did you start the process of turning from Moz worshipper into objective moderate or outright hater and what influenced you to do it?
