Why is it so important to certain MR members to characterize those who criticize GR's acquisition as "hating Amazon"? It reminds me of Glenn Beck responding to diverse opinions with the rhetorical question, "Why do you hate America?"

Repeating the idea that people who are unhappy about the acquisition must "hate Amazon" is as irrelevant as asking why someone who's being evicted hates landlords.

It's the situation people dislike, not Amazon itself, or they wouldn't have waited for this particular situation to complain.

Is it just easier to dismiss our opponents as hyperbolic than it is to recognize their opinions are as valid as our own?
