The word hater originated out here in the Bay Area. Not ATL or Chilly Copenhagen. Your just part of the people who twist it and think any negative atittude or comments is hating. Its not. Your getting it confused. When I say Lil' Jon sucks its an opinion regardless if it will prevoke another person. Hating would be if I told a A&R he sucked right before he got his deal so he wouldn't get one. Hating involves me gaining something from speaking bad about that person. I'm not gaining anything by saying he sucks on Illmuzik.com. (its a opinion) The only thing it does is make people like you upset and twist the real definition of hating.
It seems that you have it twisted, I'm not part of the people who think that any negative attitude is hating. My comments did not refer to the word "hater" but simply that saying "hate", "suck", "garbage" etc are stronger words than dislike, which covers your opinion just as well. Also, to me, those words are more negative and therefore gives off the same vibe. Therefore, I feel it's unnecessary to use those words, especially when I know that others interpret those words as strong words too, and if they like the artist in question, will feel very provoked.
I'm just a positive, happy person who wishes that this site will be serious and at a comfortable, relaxed level. A wish which is challenged everytime someone uses those words and it causes a heated debate in these forums.
Though, to speak on what you said, I don't feel that an action has to be envolved for it to be hate. In regards to speaking on artists, I feel that hate is when you don't just hate the song but the person who made it too, which I feel is ridiculous if you don't personally know the person. There may be a certain Bay area definition of "hater", though everybody is not from the Bay area and a Dane, like myself, who don't really use/know american slang will have to go by the Websters definition; "To feel hostility or animosity toward", and that to me, is to go over the top with your opinion.
