But that's exactly what you try to do when you deride other people
preferences.

But it's pretty good entertainment...

I'm always happy to engage in a friendly discussion, but, IMO,
friendly discussions don't involve one person criticizing other
people's and their preferences. 

In my opinion, a friendly discussion would be like someone saying,
"it's interesting that you prefer blah, blah, blah. Can you explain
why you prefer that?" 

When someone tells me or insinuates that I'm wrong, it's no longer a
friendly discussion.

You seem to be the one whose angry all the time.

Your "The "no significant difference" idea baffles a lot of people."
is an example of that.

Why does that upset you so much?
