I think people use it as and excuse for there ignorance, Like if they are doing something completly stupid or looking very very stupid and someone calls them on it they are a "hater". Like all the OmG Iz SoO HeLLa FlUsH threads in the car pics section. They all look very stupid to me and when ever say hey that looks awful, You get the response "U BeZz A HaTeR". No you just look like a idiot every time i see one of these vehicle i laugh and think kid car!
