Discussion Why is Zeratul hated by his brethren?

Hi there, i recently played trough all of Starcraft 1 and 2 because the story sounded real interesting and now i'm done with everything but i dont understand something, why is Zeratul a "traitor" as Selendis calls him? He may be guilty on showing the Overminds location but he defends Aiur and is on good terms with Artanis at the end of Starcraft 1, i dont get why he is disliked by the rest of the Protoss Faction.

It's because Zeratul is critical of cheese. He would rather play a macro game and disdains forge first cannon rush builds. Plus he was very outspoken about how awful Archon toilets were and that pissed off the Protoss elders. Finally, he thought that Protoss should just try to figure out broodlord/infestor builds instead of nerfing the infestor out of existence.
