I've seen it used around here a lot. I can't tell if it is used in jest or what the deal with it is. I am finding some take offense to it and want it ranked in there with other name-calling terms. I tend to agree.
Someone who uses it please share a bit on what it's all about.

IMHO, accusing someone of being a hater means that they have some strong dislike of that player, and will nitpick that person and attack anything they can, and if they have nothing, they'll make something up. Generally, someone I thought was "hating" on someone has less credibility because their opinion gets in the way of their using objective fact in discussion. I'd say a hater usually ignore arguments against his position, because he's "right'. I might add more later, think that's generally it...
Pretty good definition. A hater is anyone who consistantly hates on someone or something.GoTitans3801 said:
Dont hate, appreciate
Hater is a relatively new word to the slang vocabulary. I dont remember hearing it consistently before I started HS which was back in 2001.
A hater is someone who finds problems with somone or a thing, for either 1) silly or absurd reasons 2) becomes fixated on disling something or 3) is spiteful and comes off as bitter about something.
A hater is too often confused with simple dislike. Hating is usually pretty extreme and almost always illogical.
Example: Most of the Manning bashing, especially recently.

Kami might say I need to get the hate out of my eyes...
This does not offend me because because I know at times my irrational hatred of Manning is just that...irrational. I do not feel that this is an offensive term. There is a word for someone who calls someone "hater" and that is "annoying". That's all it is. If a post is annoying I believe the general advice is to just disregard. I haven't really seen a bunch of people saying "hater this" and "hater that"...
If you make hater a swear what's next? Homer?
I'd rather stick to the universally offensive system...
The Manning bashing is logical, he's a Colt, he's a whinner, he's a pansy, nuff said. Its not hatin, its smack talkin:winker:KamikaZ said:
Hating
Hating is not a bad word. It's evolved over the past few years from a simple adjective into a noun, pronoun, adverb and action verb. Let me give you some examples.
If someone says something about someone that you like, i.e., someone says something about Lamont Thompson, Tank Williams or Keith Bulluck, I'll call them a "hater".
If I'm wearing my hair in a new hairstyle, some jeans or a shirt that one of my girls doesn't like and she makes a negative comment, I'll call her a hater. Or say, "Don't hate."
One of my friends dated a guy for a while and things didn't turn out too well and he started things up back up with his baby's Mama. My girl was hanging out with me and my boyfriend one night and we started talking about her ex-boyfriend and his baby Mama. My boyfriend said, "Ya'll quit hating."
One of my best friends just closed on a great condo. Our little group of friends all went over to her place to check it out. As I walked in her front door I gave her a hug and said, "Ohhh girl, I am SO hating on you. This place is great!"
So, hating isn't a bad word and shouldn't be counted among name-calling words.
TitanJeff, stop hating on "hating":ha:

Just so I'm 100% here. No one takes it personally being called a "hater"?
TitanJeff said:
Depends on the person. Some people resent being called on there attitudes. Some people, like me, accept it for what it is. Just a natural inclination for most peoples. :grrr:
I think for football forum usage hating or being a hater or whatever is what Mr E. brings when he's talking about his favorite quarterback. All this hanging out at the mall and chewing bubble gum stuff is taking hater way out of what it needs to be or it is just played out and annoying.
I think being a hater is something you pretty much own up to.
Calling somebody a hater when it's just because you can not think of anything valid just gets on peoples nerves. That's the hater defense. It doesn't make them mad. I don't think I've ever encountered a poster that was upset at it. It's really just kinda pretty much, I'm trying to be a good team mate here, :ha:
Above all the "hater defense" is the worst argument ever.

For real though, hating on a player is pretty much just riding them and trash talking their game without being able to support a valid argument, at least for long. I suppose there needs to be some gray term for homer that is to the effect of spoonfed love for a player despite pretty much whatever.
For instance take Reynaldo Hill...if he were to say, I don't know, hijack an airplane... odds are the only thing Gunny is going to worry about is whether he was still going to start...what do you call that? Devoted? Not very good...
Jock rider? :lol3: That's great...so if somebody just blurts...hater!
Can you respond and be like: What, jock rider?
Not that I would but it seems fair...
Besides, anybody crying "hater" ought to be able to take jock rider?
Surly.
...and quit calling me Shirley!!!

Hey BiPolar, I couldn't resist this one. I am not disputing or agreeing with anything, just attempting more WU dry humor: OK, here goes:

you cant ban the term hater, what else will elfinmagic53 have to say?
Hater, an over used, emotional term...
It's a strong word that should only be applied to posts that are over the top or irrational. I was called a mcnair hater and basher for simply rating him third among nfl QBs instead of first. I was accused of being an andre woolfolk hater simply because i suggested he wasn't a great draft pick. Well everyone knows that.
If it is the truth it is not hate. If it is rational it can't really be hate. So i think it is a term that should not be used very often.
At the same time we wouldn't want to reduce the spitited debate that exists on these boards. This is the best titans forum on the net for a reason and spirited banter, bustings balls as a new yorker might put it is a part of sports debate.

I agree. But I attempt to dance a fine line between spirited debating and personal insults in this forum. An articulate person can debate most anything without insulting the person they are debating. To resort to insult usually means one lacks the ammo to back their opinion on a subject and trys to compensate for that by focusing on the person they are debating.RollTide said:
I don't see the need for one poster to call another a "hater" in the context of what has been explained to me here and am considering adding it to what is defined as a personal insult or name-calling.
I agree, ban the use of it simply because it will force a person to debate instead of having a quick response to a post they didn't like. IMO it is overly strong to call someone a "hater" just because they have an objective opinion even though another might not agree with them.
