It’s not your thoughts and opinions that people are upset about. It’s your absolute lack of respect for anyone who disagrees with you. You have resorted to ad-hominem attacks on anyone who disagrees with you. Your tone conveys contempt to all the “sheep” that are unable to see things your way. That’s antithetical to how most people in this community treat others.
This is the type of community where people, at major tournaments no less, will remind their opponents of upgrades, even if it’s detrimental to themselves. Someone forgot a component? You’ve got lots strangers willingly lending rare cards. At LVO I gave an inexperienced player some advice that kept him from getting tabled by me. I’ve had opponents in casual games offer to use a different fleet because they knew the match-up was extremely in their favor. In tournaments missed timing windows are usually forgiven by your opponent. Every match I’ve played, especially against some REALLY good players, ends with “you know, if you did this it would have saved you from...” or some other form of advice.
You’ve got people like
@Karneck
and
@Drasnighta
who have donated I can’t imagine how many hours trying to figure out weird rules and card interactions. You’ve got

@Snipafist
(and many others who I’m too lazy to attribute correctly) creating blogs and podcasts for the express purpose of helping others, especially newer players. These players don’t have the community-at-large’s respect because they are super vocal, or are trying to show that they are smarter than the room. They are respected because they care about the game and, most importantly, care about helping the community. And when they are wrong, they admit it.
This is a community where people are largely selfless and try to lift up other players. We all know it’s just a game and try to have as much fun with it as possible.
So when you come in condescending and insulting others, you instantly lose any respect. It becomes obvious that you don’t care about lifting up other players and making the game fun. You’re posting to make yourself feel superior. That’s why people are annoyed. It’s not your opinions; it’s your attitude.
