Anyone who can truly hate another poster is very sad.
Such a strong emotion to base on internet chat.
Could you fall in love with another poster? 🙄
Not sure i've identified any love matches here though.

All we've got is people like robbie carrobie and Suzianne who sometimes accuse others of "hating"; I don't see there's much credible evidence of anyone genuinely "hating" a fellow poster, unless I've missed something?

"Thumbing down" any forum post hardly qualifies as "hate" imo. At most it represents a muted nonverbal vanilla version of dislike.

Why not respond with a compassionate smile?
