Nope, no hatred. Just conclusions I've come to through observation and reflection.
This is something I'm seeing more and more, where people will say "You just have strong feelings on X, so your opinion doesn't matter." And for one, it presumes to know things about the contents of someone else's mind that you don't know, and for another, it's just not a criticism. It's a way to avoid engaging with the substance of someone's ideas.
Basically what this comes down to is saying, "because you have an opinion, you don't get to have an opinion," which is nonsense.
