I can guess that my opinions will at least in some areas will cause at least some of you to find me offensive and distasteful, no matter how politely I state them.

Naw, I wouldn't worry (about me). I might find your views offensive and distasteful, but that is pretty different from finding you offensive and distasteful. Despite the impious tone of my commentary which I am not entirely able to prevent from seeping in even in this conciliatory sentence, I don't think you are a bad sort!
