The_Hater has sadly passed away. RIP.

Man RIP. Just want everyone to know that I respect all of you even if arguments can get a bit out of hand here. This is a place I’ve been coming too Goldie over 5 years and it’s helped shape my opinions and understandings of basketball. Is there any way I can donate to this guy’s family in any way? Maybe that seems like a lot, but maybe that’s something nice we can do for someone we’ve all argued with and made part of this community.

His family would appreciate donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers or money to the family, if you or anyone is so inclined.

Thank you for that. I've donated, and if you guys have ever had the pleasure of interacting with him, or just feel so inclined, I'd recommend doing the same.

Awful news, he was a great member of this community. Condolences to his family

I know times are tough for many of us so this is no hard sell from me at all. If you can't, believe me I get it. But it would be really cool if a whole bunch of us went and made a Raps in $4 donation even if we couldn't give more to honor our friend.

Shoutout to The Hater (Ted) by Matt Devlin from the Raps broadcast crew

[Capn'O]

The_Hater is quite the opposite to a Hater. Always active and respectful. Like someone else mentioned, he often brought up points about a certain team or player the way I never though of. Such a huge loss to the realgm fam.

RIP my man.

I wasn't gonna do it but this comment all but forces me to bring up my user comment for him:

This guy is full of ****. He's not a hater at all.

Spoiler:

For non-mods - each user has a comment page that shows history and mod comments. Sort of a Santa's naughty and nice list of RealGM posters. TH was very well regarded to say the least.

[twyzted]

condolences to everyone who knew him here and his family. I always liked his posts.

may he rest in peace.

[davidfr94]

Wow. So sad to ear this. Sometimes it makes you feel ashamed thinking about things you were mad about when other people are going through such tough times.

He was a great poster and i just hope he didnt suffer at the end.

Rest in peace The_hater

Never really interacted with him, but I’m sending my condolences.

This shows how much of a community this forum really is. Everyone here contributes to making this the best place to talk basketball

[yellowknifer]

I don't post that often, but The_Hater always stood out. One of the best posters for sure. My condolences to his family and friends and he will be missed.

[FreeThrowLine]

Terrible news, may he Rest In Peace.

If any of his family members are reading through these comments, I hope some of the positive thoughts can give you strength in this difficult time

[o0dong]

A true legend of the forum.

RIP

Man, what a bummer. I've probably And1'd more of his posts than anyone else on these boards.

RIP The_Hater

Wrong thread

Sad news, cancer sucks

R.I.P. Hope he's found a nice spot to watch ball from above.

Condolences to his family and friends.

[Shock Defeat]

RIP to him. I definitely conversed with him over the years. Hate to see something like this happen.

[Bum Adebayo]

Sad, I'm going to miss the biggest Melo hater on the board.

RIP

[TheHartBreakKid]

Rest in Peace. His posts always had a way to stand out for me. I won't pretend like I knew him personally, but I do really appreciate the contributions of everyone on this board and he was certainly one of the notable ones. I turn 30 a week from today and I just want to say that while I probably won't meet any poster on this board in real life, I have spent more than half of my life browsing this board and I guess I just want to say I appreciate you all.

RIP.

PS: Mods, Is there any way I could go through his post history? Been here for 15 years but I'm still not too savy with the search functions

[TTP]

RIP, The_Hater.

His opinions were among those that I always looked forward to seeing the most in a thread and that I respected the most. I'm sure I've And1'd him as much as I've And1'd anyone on the General Board.

[Ballerhogger]

Aw man he was cool dude ……..
