Soy Sauce

That's exactly how it reads, it does not read like he just doesn't use it properly, especially as he doesn't like a whole other raft of ingredients.
"It's brown and it stinks", which well, is true, it is brown and its spell isn't really appealing.
A whole raft of other ingredients? As in, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy sauce and cheese?
I'm not the biggest fan of cheese, it depends what it is, but I don't like the other two, am I also suffering from a screwed up mind set?
His post very clearly reads as if he thinks soy sauce is a condiment because he's commenting directly on the sauce, which as I've said, isn't very appealing by itself.
That describes a lot of foodstuffs.
He's commented directly on the ingredients and the fermentation and gone on to say he dislikes other fermented stuff and mold products.
That to me sounds like he has a issue with the way it's produced not how to use it.
Why else name the ingriedients.
No, as you don't like it for a reason, hover Op sounds like it dislikes it for a very different reason.
It is prevalent in modern society, cuts of meat, bones, offal, musrooms, so so many phobias that shouldn't exist.
You forgot beer.

I don't like beer and Worschester sauce, does that instantly mean I dislike fermented things because they're fermented?
I don't like bones and offal, that's not the same as it being a phobia, I just don't like it. I also dislike seafood because I find the majority of it tastes horrible to me.
You also named the ingredients, not him.

No he did, as he dislikes pretty much everything fermented, and the way he describes and posts the fermented/ingridents like its all bad, I say I'm right and for some reason you have taken offence.
It very much reads as I described.

There's loads of blends and types. Traditional Chinese dark soy sauce is not sweet. However you do get certain blends that are sweet which have added ingredients to make it sweet, usually molasses I think.
It's primarily used to add colour in Chinese cooking... not sweetness.

I'm sure you've had your local chinese takeaways chow mein? They usually lash it in soya sauce and I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like chow mein?
I agree. Perhaps he is using it as a dipping sauce or something similar. Try throwing it through some noodles during cooking and see what you think then? It's definitely not for dipping.

Soy sauce is awesome. Nothing better than a few sushi rolls, some wasabi and a bowl of soy sauce. Yummmmmmmmmmmmamamamamamamammm.
You can get soy sauce with less salt, like 'Amoy Salt Reduced Light Soy Sauce' has 25% less salt, other brands have up to 50% less salt.

The whole point of Soy Sauce is that it is salty, that's why it tastes so good. Love Worcestershire sauce too but did get a bit of a shock when i found out the main flavouring is anchovies 
Always have a bottle of light & dark soy sauce in the cupboard, so underrated, & so many uses.
