I don't treat people like crap for liking something I don't like. It's like the baseball thing. I hate baseball, but do I run around here and insult everyone who posts in a baseball thread? No. I stay the hell out of it and let them have their discussions in peace.
Who am I to tell someone else what they can or can't talk about? I'm just not that guy, and maybe I'm naive or something... but I still can't believe people like that are still around.

That's pretty much how 99% of internet forums are. You need to learn to take criticism of the things you like. Quite often, the criticism has some genuine point to it. If you create a discussion, people are going to read the discussion and invariably, the things you are passionate about will be criticized by others. That's how it goes. It's the same with every topic. If I say I am a Cammelleri or an Opera fanboy, somebody is going to cut in and critisize those choices. It's not a personal attack.
If you say "ipad is awesome because of this and that" someone will say "I don't agree because of such and such". That's just normal. The fact that half the threads on the first page are by you and regarding this topic simply creates a proprotional volume of likewise responses.
