Mario there is no question that if a person writes an opinion 
column, they are going to find people who oppose them.  Of course, 
they are going to find people who agree with them.

I'm certain there are people you meet that tell you they don't like 
me for my columns, and they will, as you say below, seek you out 
because you dislike the columns too.  Likewise, there are also many 
people, total strangers, who write to me, email me and introduce 
themselves to me that tell me they love the column.

It's a big world with lots of diverse opinions.  I'm not out to 
change everyone to my point of view.  That would be a pretty boring 
world.
