I don't like him either, but his fans love him.
I cant dispute his talent and that is the point. Just like other things I don't like, like cooking, and food, and mushrooms which I hate, other people like it. So with all art, and even food, it ultimately does not matter if you don't like something. Others do. And the key to objectivity isn't saying "Since I don't like it, you cant like it either" is bullshit.

I don't think ABBA fans are bad people, nor have I ever suggested that these songs be banned or anything similar. My dislike of ABBA is purely personal, and I deal with it by simply not listening to their music. Thank you and have a nice day.'

Since when have you ever been worried about my bood pressure or my emotional well being?
You, "it is my personal AND subjective opinion that this particular music is not for me". (see above, your words)
That is where the argument of taste ends. Thank you for making my point.
Since always. I'm concerned that you haven't noticed.
You really don't need to remind me. I know what I wrote.
It's been my point all along, be you've been much too sensitive and self-absorbed to understand.
