I've noticed one thing in my lifetime on the internet, and unfortunately, I've noticed it a lot more recently...why is almost everyone on the internet a hater?

My only guess is that they feel "safe" saying whatever they want to whoever they want when it is over the internet, especially if it is someone they don't personally know.

I've played quite a few video games throughout my life, and this is where it is the most prominent.  Why people have to be so negative is beyond me.  There is that saying that goes something like, "Why do we waste so much time on hate, especially if we aren't going to do anything about it?"  I joined PMC (Poor Man's Clan) on the game Left 4 Dead because that clan is specifically for people who are tired of having to play with H8rs and would like to have people they know that are cool and can play with.  I even put a page on my site for the clan - http://www.sadplayer.com/pmc.html

If you're a Hater, you're not as cool as you think you are   Most people just like to go and play and have a good time, and when people want to ruin that, it just makes everyone's hope in humanity shoot downstream.
