I was going to ask the same thing... Is it because he has an opinion and people don't like it?

I've had a couple of conversations with Ken and he's actually quite pleasant.

I still visit Ken's site from time to time. I have always enjoyed it. I like his sense of humor. I think the problems that people have with him, are that he can be so tongue in cheek that it is hard to separate his "real" opinions from the humorous stuff.

Chuck Norris sleeps in KenRockwell pajamas.

Funny set you have there, but I am with Sime & Co. He seems to have some honest opinions on his site.

When Ken Rockwell lent his camera to Chuck Norris... Chuck burst into tears in gratefulness.
