I'm sorry that I gave you that impression. I may dislike your political opinions, but I don't dislike you.

Oh! Thank you for stating that.

It's not something to apologize over, though, in either case. I think there are perfectly valid reasons to dislike me. I think there are valid reasons to like me, as well. I tend to treat like/dislike as a preference statement, rather than a value statement. (Which isn't universal, but people generally tend to use the word "hatred" with regard to negative valuation.)
