Well, I guess that's the reason I'm asking. See, I'm not convinced it's about "retardness factor", other than having it as an easy way out or a joke. All jokes aside: Yeah, there are people who won't hesitate shooting anyone who disagrees "blue is the best colour", but there is no particular reason to believe they all hang out at Youtube, other than what I said: As an easy way out or as a joke. Retardness is, if I'm allowed to be serious here, also a (at least a semi-) medical term. Calling them retards in all seriousness seems to me as a bit ignorant.
Another thing is, this whole issue doesn't apply only to Youtube, but almost everywhere we go. Read a newspaper, where experts on "taste" or whatever similar, are having a fit when another expert comes along and have a different opinion on something as subjective as taste. Music reviews, movie reviews, good/bad... it all causes a lot of people to dig trenches, starting calling out names for each other. Why?
So, again, in all seriousness: If they are not "medical" retards, what causes such defensive behaviour that doesn't seem to lead anyone anywhere.
