154. I don't see any of the hate you're describing. As I skim the threads, it appears

that much of what you perceive as hate is the normal reaction to a couple of OPs deifying the Woodstock generation ("hippies=god") and making the case that Woodstock was the culmination of western civilization (or perhaps human evolution). I joined in initially because I thought the threads were lighthearted banter, but I've come to the opinion that a few of the posters, now complaining of being persecuted, were 100% serious in their elevation of Woodstock to the pinnacle of some sort of cultural pantheon...

In other words, it's not hate you're seeing - it's irritation at a prolonged exercise in public auto-fellatio.
