I hate people who wear gold chains. You do that frequently. So, I must hate you.

And then there’s this…

I did hate you, I thought you were a real asshole when I first watched you a couple of months ago. However you have grown on me (much like a fungus) over time. So I suppose I don’t make the list, bummer.

By Irelandshope on Jan 5, 2007

Thank you for putting me on your hate page. I don’t hate you, but my angst stems from the jealousy.

I’m jealous of your chest hair.

I’m jealous of your faded blue tattoo.

I’m jealous of your paper lamp.

Perhaps we should start a jealous page. On and it’s not “we”, as I sure like Yue!

Alright Loren, you asked for it.

You pick on women for showing off their tits. That’s wrong. We bombed the Taliban for that shit.

You run a politics site that is infested with raving left-wing moonbats. There are already too many of those. You asked me to write for it it too, which shows that you have low journalistic standards.

You’re also my friend, which means you have very questionable taste in personal associates.

Overall, there’s a lot to object to here.

The Jew thing: that’s its own list. Ahmadinejad hates you. bin Laden hates you. Mel Gibson hates you when he’s drunk. Jimmy Carter hates you even if he won’t admit it. Pat Buchanan thinks you should move to Israel and then we should sink it, but it’s nothing personal. David Duke thinks the same, except we should set it on fire first.

I could tell you why I hated you if I hated you but I don’t hate people who consistently make me laugh and poke fun at the pretentious stick-butts who consider themselves guardians of the pure blogosphere so I suppose I won’t make your list. Let me know when you update the ones who love you.

I don’t discriminate. I hate everyone equally. I hate everyone so much that I made a “hate list”. Then I see you are making a “hate list”, which is my frikkin idea. Now I have abandoned my hate list and created a “hate plaque” with your name on it, and ONLY your name. So now I don’t hate indiscriminately…I hate you above all others.

Ive changed my mind, I can’t bear not being on the list, I fu**ing hate you. Now give me the gravy.

By irelandshope on Jan 5, 2007

If I ever run into you in a dark alley I’ll give it to you then.

By Bruce Prokopets on Jan 5, 2007

I hate you cuz you rock.

Tho if I had one request it would be that you cover up that huge blue smurf splotch on your arm when you are doing the naked videocasts, it detracts from your quality programming

By Allen Stern on Jan 5, 2007

I hate you because you make me speak in a foreign bird language that nobody can understand.

By Yue on Jan 7, 2007

I hate you because… dang, Yue is cute.

MT, why else would anyone come to this site?

By David Temple on Jan 8, 2007

Loren,

I started off not hating you, then you slammed me in a video (thank you), I still didn’t hate you. I enjoyed it.

Then you go and solicit the kind of feedback I should have- now I should hate you for taking the iniative and building something into your brand.

I should make the list by default. I have a hate line of teeshirts for myself Ihatewayneporter.com (we have been over it via e-mail) created along time ago by people who hate me, and frankly I hate people who have figured out that getting people to hate them is a great well to create a viral shell to release their meme agenda.

I hate the fact you don’t acknowledge me as real hate pioneer. How’s that?

regards,
Wayne

Surely you are the king of bloggers.

By Osman S Borutecene on Jan 11, 2007

Yeh, yeh, like everyone else I started out kinda loving you for your soft Jewish good looks and your NY-ish declarative way of speaking, but really, now, I hate you for not making it clear that this pseudo “transparency” of encouraging people to express “hate” is really a veiled attempt at getting people to say how much they love you. What do I see when I read the list above? Love, not hate! Not REAL hate. Transparency my ass. I hate you.

By Pandanus on Mar 7, 2007

Dude - I freakin love you. I can’t help myself. I may be out in Redmond, WA working for a big software company now, but in my heart I’m still a girl from NJ. Come visit me any time!

By Eileen on Mar 22, 2007

This site is really just a big hook-up service, isn’t it?

By Vince Williams on Mar 22, 2007

Hate? Dude, I love you. Seriously. After all that crap that has been going on the web with blogs, YouTube, and stuff, watching your videos is refreshing at least. Short, to the point, serious and funny at the same time. With no added beauty, but beautiful at the same time. Well defined and argued point of view, but not radical or anything. Simply excellent.

This being a hate list post though, if there is one thing I’d choose to hate you for is that you are using the same WordPress theme for 1938’s web site as I do for my Cyprus Blog Network. They do look slightly different because of the logos and stuff, and you have way better content, but the same theme … c’mon! Couldn’t pick anything better than my best choice? I doubt it. So you probably did that on purpose to make me hate you.

By Leonid Mamchenkov on Mar 29, 2007

My reason is so simple: Cause I love to hate you!

Anyway, you’re like bad medicine, we need to take some dose each and every day from you! Go on!

By Goddess Artemis on Apr 25, 2007

I hate that you waste my time, because I have watched so many of your videos.

By Todd on May 18, 2007

why would people hate you?are you a nonce?

mmm, why should we hate you?
BECAUSE YOUR THAT INSECURE?
dick.

On the topic of haters and stuff, let me cheer you all up with this brilliant thing I said recently on Twitter.

Someone twittered “just lost a follower, wonder who?”

As the Google King of Blogocombat, I was naturally very offended at this tweet. This was an entirely poor depiction of what had transpired.

I replied on Twitter:

“Don’t think of it as Losing a Follower, friend. Think of it as Gaining an Enemy. In the future, please try to adopt a more positive point of view. Thanks.”

You fucking webless, dickless anonymous trolls have no right to express an opinion about anything.

You are drive-by comment posters, cowardly cretins.

You flame, but shy away from revealing your web URL, if you have one, so nobody can return the favor.

All: Ignore any comment that has no web presence attached to it.

By vaspers the blogocombat sissy on Aug 17, 2007

Yue is right you know. This complicated bird language is tiresome and nobody speaks it well, not even Loren.

Can we go back to regular English? Can we stop pretending we’re exotic birds flapping around in the stench of the digital effluvium.

I’m tired of acting and speaking like a bird.

By vaspers the blogocombat sissy on Aug 17, 2007

i dont hate you because i dont know who you are :]

By hjklnhbv on Aug 25, 2007
