    According to B. Bunny, the correct spelling is “maroon”.

    Hating someone doesn’t bother them at all. Usually, they are oblivious to your feelings and don’t care.

    The word “hate” really is used too much these days. Just because someone disagrees with something, that doesn’t mean that they hate it or the one who supports it.

    Goat, he didn’t say “I hate someone.” He specified “that moron.”

    Cue song from Wicked: "Loathing, unadulterated loathing, For your face, your voice, your clothing. . . " I will say that there are very few people in my life that I’ve hated but there is one who I still loathe and despise with every fiber of my being, and unfortunately HE WON’T GO AWAY. If only he’d just crawl back to his golf course and STAY THERE.

    Actually I do think that loathe is a milder word, at least when applied to another person.

    There is a weird war on words going on. Perhaps an extension of peoples desire to kill everything that is an inconvenience, or worse.

    People no longer say “that’s bad.” You have to say “that’s not ok.” Ridiculous! As if the utterance of the word will induce spontaneous reproduction of all things bad.

    There is nothing “wrong” with hatred. It is necessary and inseparable from life, as night is necessary along with day.

    Expression of hatred- good.

    Existing in hatred- bad

    If I burn my hand on the stove, am I a bad person for screaming bloody heII?

    If I henceforth attempt to destroy all cooktops, well that is misguided and psychotic.

    If someone cuts me off in traffic and almost causes an accident, I will get angry and yell terrible things at her. That is not the time to be all zen. Get angry and Then let it go.

    If I carry that anger around all day and direct it towards innocent people, then I have a problem. That is unhealthy. You have become rat.

    There is a difference.

    I will usually say ‘I have a strong dislike for that person’, but even that can seem harsh at times.

    “hate” is so overused that “loathe” almost sounds worse by seeming more personal.
