Actually I do get it. My "I don't get it" statement was pure sarcasm.
You're right in that disagreement with opinion should not be a personal attack against the presenter of that opinion, but it seems in America today that is very difficult for some people to do. Too many feel they have to hate those who disagree with them. It's reflected most directly in our politics and religions. It's not a new phenomenon, and I suspect there is little we can do about it other than ignore those who insist on being that way.
