  • Yes, on Runescape.
  • Yes. Some people will go out of their way to be as offensive and obnoxious as they can, so I don't take too kindly to them either.
  • No ... I don't judge others I would not consider anyone I have not met personally an enemy ... a few bad words on the net ... an enemy does not make ...
  • I have been frustrated, irritated and agitated a few times online, but I don't know anyone on the Internet who I am going to give the power to annoy me so much as to actually "dislike" them. Even with a certain troll who appeared tonight many times, I felt more sorry for him than anything. Even in real life I don't really dislike many people, and it is a mild dislike, not a hatred or anything close to being that strong or negative.
  • yes,on this site actually
  • Yes unfortunatly I have disliked people by just looking at their pictures.
  • Yes, but only after I did like him very much for 10 years. We met at 15 and talked until 25 years old. Suddenly he put down his guard and I "met" him. Now I dont like him at all. He has threatened me more than once that he will publish multiple parts of logged private conversations, and try to make me look bad to everyone possible. NEVER TRUST AN INTERNET RELATIONSHIP>YOU DONT KNOW THEM!
  • yep, people who are so obviously telling lies.
  • /me picks self up off the floor after good hearty laugh You don't know me very well, do you? I have that happens all the time. I hate lots of people and not ever actually meeting them doesn't mean I'll dislike 'em any less. Oddly, it isn't always the people you'd expect me to dislike either.
  • Plenty. I tell you, there are so many dickheads on the internet it's uncanny.
  • Yes. Just like you can grow to like someone via the net, you can also grow to dislike them.
  • I wouldn’t say disliked but found hard to warn to, yes.
  • Yes, some people make it a point of being rude and ignorant when they could hide behind a screen.
  • Yes, and only here, on AB. Granted, it's not often, but it happens.
  • Yes, some people on the internet wont leave me aone. They continually send memessages and emails. It really psses me off.
  • Yes, chubby whatever his/her name is. Obnoxious jerk.
  • oh yeah, quite a few
  • Yes. The dislike or even hatred usually sets in quicker than in person, because the internet is so impersonal. Does anyone here know what a forum rage is? I'm sure at least some of you do. That is what the internet does to people. If a person can get away with it, they will say anything they want. That's why people get mad on the internet so easily. I've been on just about every internet forum known to man and it's the same everywhere. Answerbag is no different. There are occasional forum rages here. They are often mistaken as mere arguments because of the lack of name calling and caps locking. But it happens every so often, and every person who's been on here longer than a week has been in one.
  • Yes, in fact a couple on this site.
  • Yes. I have a distance education profesor who has sent me some very hostile emails. Never be the only guy in a distance education feminism class.
  • Yes, I've run across a few people here on AB whose opinions I didn't like, and their delivery left me with dislike of the individual...but I always give everyone a second chance as I'm sure I've been misjudged too.
  • Not over the internet but people that I just see, for instance riding the bus or walking that I do not know.
  • No , it's only a laugh and you'll never meet them and i just find it funny. If you're going to get upset maybe this isn't your site. If someone is abusive , rate him accordingly and simply go on to the next subject, don't let it ruin your day !!
  • Very much so. I am the victim of cyberstalking for 2 1/2 years. I have been defamed, insulted, my character has been assassinated, etc. I seem to collect nutjobs. I hope I do not collect one at this site. If you go to cyber-abuse pages like "Cyberangels" or "Halt-abuse" and read the most SEVERE cases of cyberstalking and cyberharassing, you could put my name in most of them. I have had to bone up on my martial arts due to the death threat that involves a gun from my current stalker and she chose to post my REAL LIFE address and phone number everywhere online. She obtained it via a whois query on my website. This woman is a "rabbit in a stewpot" Fatal Attraction type stalker although I never was in more than a friendship with her. Also I am the target of online bigotry for being Rromani ("Gypsy"). That is not a surprise... we get it in real life just as much. I HATE my current stalker (the death threat, etc), I hate the character assassins, and I hate the bigots that follow me site to site or do everything they can do to ruin my reputation because I am a Gypsy. What can I do about this? Walk away. I cannot affect how someone interacts with their keyboard and, despite my wanting to rip heads off, I have to sit and take it. The laws for online have not caught up with real life. There ARE laws against cyberstalking and cyberharassing, but they are unenforcable... literally. Trust me: I have been to the police, I have contacted the FBI because of some of this stuff, I have hired lawyers to get it stopped. End all is you CAN get a cease and desist against your cyberstalkers if you are willing to pay enough and fight enough. However, the cease and desist is NOT enforcable at this time. So, yes... I have disliked people online. Dislike is a mild word.
  • Yes, and I think it happens easier than disliking someone that you have net personally for a couple of reasons. First, people who dont know each other personally have no personal connection (like knowing you will see them each day at work) and therefore lack the feeling of trying to get along in order to get by. Second, the only information that someone gathers about someone else online is the information that the other persons reveals about themselves. This limits the ability for someone to get to know someone effectively and can cause instant misunderstandings or insults. Overall, interaction is limited and valued less when it occurs through a computer screen.
  • Yes. Here on AB. But the feeling of dislike is waning. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for this user.
  • Oh, yes. Someone once told me (on the Internet) I was wrong, and I started to avoid and dislike that person.
  • yes but I was wrong, and realized that this person is actualy a decent person, we just didn t see eye to eye on some matters but I realized I needed to respect his oppinions. and I do.
  • Yes, i do believe you can dislike someone other the internet, because you may not like the things they do what they say to other people, when reading comments or viewing pictures. therefore you do have an opinion on their personality. If not is not a good opinion therefore you can dislike them
  • You shouldn't pass judgement. Also, in these days and times you should at least have an open mind. You don't want to be another George W., now would you? :)
  • Yes, I have. Some people have such a high concentration of stupidity/ignorance/rudeness that even long distances cannot permeate them.
  • Nope, I dont take it seriously I personally dont use the internet to talk to people really Well this could be classed as that tho lol, or stating my opinion
  • Yes. But, I realize it's only the internet and it's impossible to know for sure what anyone is really like.
  • Sure have!
  • Oh yes, and been disliked as well.
  • Of course! Now, I know most people are more than just a few lines of chatter on a screen. However, once in a while, you meet someone, or maybe just read something they wrote, and it just makes you want to slap them across their two-dimensional mind. But I try, I really do try, not to hate anyone I've never actually met. Sometimes it's just too hard not to.
  • Absolutely! One of the reasons I left Y!A was because of a person like that. I couldn't stand to look at her answers. They were demonstrative towards anyone who didn't think exactly like her. She was a SNOB and a half, she is prejudiced making nasty remarks about people from the US (she is canadian) and call people garbage because of their views. So I came here. And I have met one or two that I didn't like all that much (both of them were proved wrong about their inclinations) but I still avoid them.
  • Yes, I dislike Noam Chomsky.
  • There are mobs of angry people on the internet. All you have to do is read forums and blogs. If you only read the internet and never left the house you'd think people couldn't function for being so mean spirited and angry. I have disliked someone for just being rude on the internet. But I don't take it too seriously because with it being anonymous people also bull shit more often.
