Terrible news. So sorry to hear.

****. I haven't been as active as I had been previously but they were always someone who provided well thought out posts.

Also **** cancer.

Hug your family and tell them you love them, there may not be another chance to do so.

RIP mate - And nothing but love for your family and friends in this hard time.

**** cancer

Wow this is terrible. My conversations with The_Hater were always cordial and constructive. Rest easy friend- I'm glad you got to see the Raptors win in your lifetime.

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.

Condolences to his family and everyone that knew him. RIP

RIP. I always read his posts and I thought he was almost always spot on. Hard-to-achieve feat for 80k posts.

[JohnWillow]

Oh man, this is so sad to hear. Even though I don't spend much time here anymore in this forum, he was still one of the few posters on my shortlist who I loved to interact with and read his posts here every single time.

RIP The_Hater.

Dammit, that sucks. Just a level-headed dude and I always enjoyed the back-and-forth interactions I had with him, even when (maybe even especially when) we disagreed.

[JujitsuFlip]

Never got to know him, R.I.P.

RIP

[Infinite Llamas]

So sad. A poster who I always desired to emulate due to his levelheaded and articulate takes, but alas, I would often fall short of the mark. I truly believe his takes made us all better posters in the long run. Rest In Peace, friend.

What's the easiest way to go back and see your comments to and from him? I've barely been around and he was one of the posters I remember most. Started out like, ya you are a Hater, great name! Then I eventually found myself and1ing his comments. I really appreciate a guy who is direct and will speak his mind. RIP The_Hater, hang his username in the board rafters.

[KokoKaizer]

Wow, can't believe it

RIP to a REALGM legend

[ThumbsUpBaby]

What a tragic news. I've always enjoyed reading his posts, and while I didn't always agree with him, I was able to respect his opinion.

RIP to one of the better posters I've encountered throughout the time I've spent in RealGM. He'll be dearly missed.

[ratul]

He definitely was a hater on my takes on the jays. Lol. He will be missed. RIP brother.

[slicedbread2]

Man this is painful. Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones. It's never pretty to see those nearest and dearest to you suffer, but the fact he had the disease that affected his liver was truly sad. Only got to interact with him a few times but dammit he was truly fun. 20 years on this board and being apart of it all is truly wonderful.

RIP The_Hater. Really classy on Jack Armstrong and Matt Devlin to mention him during the Raptors/Blazers game. At the very least he finally got to see his beloved Raptors win a title and bring one home to the north and enjoy a parade that many(myself included) will cherish forever.

Thank You for your contributions.



That one's for him.

[Gusto1903]

Didnt know him, may his soul rest in peace

[Repeat 3-peat]

Terrible news.

The_Hater was a true basketball fan, and always brought good and worthy discussions to the board. He will be missed.

Condolences to his family.

RIP.
