Patsy, don't worry about what those poor negativistic souls say. You should go to Bali and enjoy your well-travelled and obviously cultured self. I went there for my honeymoon and for someone who has done little travelling, particularly to 'third-world-countries', I enjoyed myself thoroughly. There are many beautiful places to see and things to experience. The Balinese are very friendly people and eager to please. Of course, like anywhere, you have the handful of less desirable folk but use common sense and you won't have any problems.
Some people find it impossible to find anything positive in their lives let alone putting themselves in the shoes of those less fortunate. Take the comments with a grain of salt. Go and discover for yourself why 90% of people who visit Bali would readily go again.
