Yep, that's exactly the attitude that Mal would call C a pretentious asshole over. Mal doesn't like Opera, but he'd never be down on someone for liking it. Same goes for Gansta Rap or most Country, but he recognizes everyone's right to like what they like. He hates people who hold up their personal taste as the right way to think. Probably best that he and Ciaran don't discuss music, yes? ;)

LOL, if the infamous C & E are going to be accused, they may as well live the role!
