    I feel like you don't have a good grasp of what "haters" means in the current colloquialism.

    It's not that serious.

    Oh, I think I'm hip to the groovy jive.

    Peace.

    Most of the time, it seems to me me

    Who is "me me"? Your pet Chihuahua or summat?

    Please do not allow your dog to post on the internet.

    Thank you.

    The dog types much worse than me. And you'd know if he was on the computer. He's obsessed with bacon.

    I have seen a lot of people mentioning haters in threads.

    "You are all a bunch of haters! or "Ignore the haters!"

    But I'm not seeing much hate. Most of the time, it seems to me me, these declarers of hate are doing something clearly wrong or dangerous, or just being a complete jerk, and when someone points that out, defensiveness sets in and cries of hater erupt.

    Here's the truth. People generally don't know or care enough about you to hate you. They are just reacting to your poor behavior.

    Calling them haters is a sign of incredible immaturity and a lack of self awareness.

    If you think you've got haters, you've most likely gone horribly wrong somewhere in life. Take a step back and rethink what you're doing.

    But people care enough to hate an idea and write wall of text against it. :)

    Really? That's weird because I can't find anywhere in his post where he states HE hates anything.

    Now I'm worried about your hips. A fracture is no joke in the elderly

    I see.

    I know when my cat has been using my MFP account. The posts are actually coherent.

    I hate that cat...

    I was just saying generally...unless....OP meant something very specific which I missed?

    I don't have haters, you say? Clearly I need to step up my MFP game. Thanks Grandpa! I'll refill the hard candy dish on my way out.

    More like an arrow, I'd say.

    ETA: But an arrow with no intent to harm!

    Although I agree with you for the most part, I don't think you understand the urban/colloquial meaning of hater:

    hater
    A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

    Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesn't really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock some who else down a notch.

    I do believe though if someone is doing something unhealthy they should be called on it. However, if that is not the case people come on MFP for support and motivation so if someone is a "hater" they can really cause damage to a person

    There was a VLCD thread earlier where one guy who was promoting it called everyone else "self righteous haters" because we all suggested sustainable lifestyle changes and a moderate deficit.

    There are many people who want to believe that they are the dieting exception and try very hard to get people here in the community to join them on their self pity party.
