Why do people detest top posting so much?

Ok, I just have to ask... what is so wrong with it. I admit that I prefer
bottom posting because, well, it makes reading easier but quite a few people
on this list (and on others) actively detest it and quite often snap at you if
you bottom post. What's the deal here?
