Review something with a bit of depth and encourage others to do so. Some things don't warrant a good review (e.g., Avatar) but other things (books, movies, people) are filled with depth and emotion that you have every opportunity to point out.
I pissed off the people who read mostly or only Fantasy and Science Fiction enough to have a post that was viewed over 900 times with around 250 replies, so it is possible to touch a nerve. I think the problem here is that no one is doing it themselves. They've taken a wait and see approach to the site and don't bother because they're concerned about what the response is.
Worrying about the response shows you're posting for the wrong reasons.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I think it's ridiculous a post has to touch a nerve to get replies.
