Disagreement vs Hate?

Why are we accused of hatred on here when we just disagree? I disagree with a lot of people (well, ALL) I know at some point. That doesn't mean I hate them. We can just agree to disagree. This forum should be used for debate, thought and open-mindedness.

It is because people can not take opposing opinions. It seems as though a lot of people on here are looking for people to simply agree with them unquestioningly. They either don't like confrontation or to have to explain themselves. You may voice your opinion intelligently and completely in the efforts to have a useful and intelligent discussion.... but then those passive-aggressive people take the easy way out and claim offence or that you are hateful.... it is merely a guise. I often times disagree with people, but I would prefer to discuss it rather than just sit back and claim hate or whatever. Often I do agree but for discussion's sake argue points from the discussion. This isn't to be mean or hateful but to discover all the sides of the opinions. Sometimes argueing will bring this out.
