Mostly, it's the fact that you're trashing an entire field of literature, which is at least as wide-ranging as any other, while admitting that you don't actually read it.
Also, there's the fact that you're criticizing my taste in literature, implying that I'm immature, and impugning my political beliefs, which you actually know nothing about except that they're not hard-right. If I want to be gratuitously insulted, I'll dig up my old VN login.
Regarding you not reading Starship Troopers: I have, currently loaded on my 505, a book whose premise I find repugnant, by an author I detest. I am slowly plowing my way through it. Why? Because if I'm going to condemn a book, I should at least have read it -- not only out of fairness, but so I can aim my criticism accurately. "I've never read it but I know it's evil" is the cry of the book-burner.
