You ask "what qualifies you to discern where to draw the line between intense dislike and hatred?"
I explained the difference in several of my recent posts. If you have doubts, go back and read your posts over the past year or so concerning Bush and those who do not hate him as you do. That will give you as good a definition of "irrational hatred" as any I could write.
