Part of it is that they (an infamous they?) can't stand me (kind-of hate my guts, some of 'em, maybe) but what really tees them off -- is "they" can rarely withstand me.
They hate you too, if that makes it any better? bwaahaahAA. They really can't stand you, for if they read what you often bring, it makes some of the air go out of the party balloons> You're sucha party-pooper in that way --- please excuse me, I'm fotflmao
