He definitely had his admirers.

Several Moderators have good things to say in his comment file over the years.

They went by teddd in the early years until a Username Change in 2006.

Some Moderators pushed him as a potential Moderator Candidate but they had no interest.

The_Hater loved to debate as well and it got him some other marks on their file but he was very liked around here.

It is so sad to hear of the The_Hater's passing and we will miss him although I have a feeling they will be reading discussion on our Forums like he has the past 20 years.

In his honor, we will be having a contest on The Forums to give him a Special Rank that will be his profile forever.

Thank you for everything The_Hater.

R.I.P.

Nice one, Howard. Any idea where Hater’s post count ranks all-time on RealGM?

Thank you.

I'll see if I can look that up.

Freaking heart breaking when they are that young.

RIP

I can't believe it's been almost 20 years since Teddd was whooping my ass when I was a kid posting here. He changed my perspective quite a bit and for the better.
I'm quite emotional about this one.

The poster known as The_Hater had been courageously and quietly battling cancer for well over 2 years. He lost his battle 2 days ago.

Due to us being in a few fantasy leagues and on very friendly terms he let me know that his health wasn't the greatest and if disappeared it was not due to him taking off, but rather shuffling of this earth.

He has always been one of my favourite posters.
Regardless of whether I agreed with his takes I always made a point to read his perspective. He'll be greatly missed. **** CANCER!

Anyways, this post and thread sucks balls to create but his passing deserves a mention and tribute. His loss here will be great and the loss to his loved ones certainly immeasurable.

Posters please be respectful.

Wow, that’s horrible!

The_Hater was definitely one of my favourite posters on this board. He’ll be missed.

Way too young, I echo this sentiment.

He was a really nice man for whom I have deep respect and feel grateful for the opportunity to get to discuss and banter with over our favourite team.

I’m so happy we as a community had him as such a respected member and I hope in some way his family can enjoy the legacy the he left behind.

I hope you in peace kind sir!

Man, just saw this post. Always hate to hear when one of the RealGM brothers pass. Knowing someone without actually knowing someone, it still sucks. Sad news. RIP and condolences to his family. I’m grateful that lifelong fans got to experience 2019.

Sad news. Always knowledgeable and worthwhile reading his posts. RIP The_Hater.

Legend would be my recommendation for his special status Howard Mass was talking about.
