That being said, people hate people for their opinions every day. I hate racists because they hate people simply based on their skin color.

I haven't read negative post to your opinions, but I don't know if it is about not being what someone wants to hear, or that the person disagrees with your conclusions.
It's actually not just one person though. Over the course of my time here I've accrued quite the list of debates/arguments that have actually just been based on my opinions rather than definitive statements.

As far as your racism example, it's my fault for not being specific. I often generalize based on the assumption we're talking in an intellectual medium. Something like racism doesn't even come to mind to me because it's a given to not agree with something like that. But in regards to more subjective topics, my first post is more applicable.
