It actually helps to understand the people who hate you. That way you know why they hate you--and, usually, why they don't have a legitimate reason.

Incidentally, no one is universally hated. If even Hitler can't accomplish that, then I don't think you can.

Hmm... I think I just Godwinned the thread. Oh well.


What if you intellectually know why but you think their point of view is entirely invalid?
Then you know they're probably thinking irrationally, or else they're following someone else who is.
