Consider the possibility that other people don't have the same emotional responses and foundations as you.
For example, I literally do not care about you. How can I? I don't know you. In order to "despise" you, I would have to be emotionally invested in you and that isn't the case. For me, this forum is a diversion for me to engage in some discussion and debate. At best, y'all are acquaintances. Why on earth would I bother becoming so concerned about the people here to "despise" them?
Some people are curmudgeonly and take to heart the idea of "not suffering fools lightly." But considering someone foolish doesn't mean you "despise" him. To me, that indicates ill will. But there is a difference between disliking and despising.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
