Sometimes it just comes down to bad timing when one is sharing their ideas that triggers these bad reactions from others. There are the right times and the wrong times to mention things and if for whatever reason, be it your idea or opinion is great, but brought up at a time when it is not right, it will be received poorly by your audience.

For example, we don't bring up talking ill of the dead party at their funeral. Poor old dead Grandma may have been a dirty old windbag alcoholic, but we don't say these things at the funeral... it is the wrong time. This talk would be received poorly regardless if everyone else agreed and how it was delivered. It is even taboo to bring up these things for a long while after the passing of someone.

Timing is everything with what we say....no matter how good or bad it is. Perhaps your timing is a little off. Sometimes all we need to do is think about whether or not the time is right to bring certain things up....that's all.

If I were you, I would take that as a lesson and move on. Nothing to worry too terribly much over really.
