Simply put, a tard in a VHF is relatively easy to take out. A tard in a dread is an utter nuisance.
Thus the hate towards caps.
Because of the very chance that they might become a nuisance.
EDIT: Actually, you might notice that many people have adopted the "All caps are lolwuts until proven otherwise" approach to ingame interaction.
EDIT2:
Alright, it was a very TL;DR sort of answer. The thing about capital ships in by their nature is that you require either many people or you yourself flying a cap to take one out. No matter how good is the cap player's RP, they still are flying a ship, which you cannot deal with, even if you yourself feel that you are a good snub fighter. It means no matter how good you feel you are, you simply technically cannot deal with a threat and it is very, very disqueting. It makes people feel unseasy. The very nature of a capital ship means that it requires others to take it out. What if you are a lone wolf, so to speak? Then you are stuck tounting the guy, usually with jabs like "Get a fighter and then we will talk" sort of thing.
Funnily enough, this distaste also carries over from that unlawful character onto any lawful alts for that player. He just ends up hating every cap ship with his ID out of principle. Because no fight he encounters them in, he can do anything about it. It is a feeling of helplessness that is very unpleasant to any player, who thinks they are good at snub pvp.
