Putting extreme emotional labels (such as "hatred") on reasonably expressed objections to a practice you personally happen to approve of -- even after people have clearly told you that that is not what they are feeling -- is itself a form of "ridiculous armchair psychoanalysis."

It's a difficult issue on which people of intelligence and goodwill can easily disagree. Stop putting polarizing labels on it.

Ok let's call it "extreme disdain". Is that better? It's really something that this site is supposedly anti-Authoritarian, but people on the right just can't help themselves from gravitating toward it.

No, I would say that's still a completely inaccurate assessment.

And I do think it's amusing, all our different ideas of what this site is "supposed" to be. It's almost like a Rorschach test.
