Just because I don't share that hatred, IMO doesn't diminish my love for the Flames. I have been a STH for 23 years which obviously takes me back to the Young Guns era, when our financial input helped keep the Flames here in Calgary.
Besides, apart from the past year, there really hasn't been a strong rivalry with the Oilers, and what strong dislike, I had for them at one time, has been significantly diminished. Probably it's my dislike for the Ducks that is also coming into play.

Au contraire. I think hatred of the Oilers is directly proportional to the amount of contact one has with smug, arrogant, insufferable Oilers fans (which, in my experience, is 95% of them).
