Some people feel that an idea, belief, community, etc represents them directly, so if you say that X is stupid they regard it as a personal attack.
Since I'm in the process of looking deeply at belief systems I recall reading this someplace but cannot recall just what link it was that I found that explained this very succinctly. I'll have to try to find it again.
