Really lad, you should go and get yourself a job, preferrably one involving at least some interaction with real people. The energy spent will take your mind off of bullshit like this.
You know as they say "Stulti semper sic statuuntur, quae non intellegunt, aspernantur et abutuntur.".
And who would know better than you?

I mean that you're one of those stubborn fools the quote refers to.

So, what is it that I despise and abuse only because I do not understand it? That is what the quote means: " Fools always think that way: that which they do not understand, they despise and abuse." (that is how Zvonimir Balog translated the Croatian saying " Budale uvijek tako sude: što ne shvaćaju, preziru i kude." into Latin).

The meaning of the quote is that fools tend to be obdurate and unable to learn. Here’s another that also applies to you:

I suspect they’re all named things like ‘Croatiaville’, ‘Croatia Acres’, ‘Croatiaton’ and so on.

It applies to you because you rejected the opinion of a professional linguist who told you that you were wrong.
I know exactly what it means.
