I wonder if this is really true. I made the same statement as you about anti-bacterial soap and was soundly ridiculed about it. Who is right?

I don't know for a certainty, but I don't see any reason to doubt that such products promote the evolution of bacterial strains resistant to the anti-bacterial ingredients. If these anti-bacterial ingredients are used by medicine in the human body, I'd be behind banning their use in household sanitary products.

Read the ingredients. It's not like they are putting penicillin in soaps.
