I always thought it was a 'naysayer'... I assume it's someone who isn't entirely in-line. Think Hitler Youth, various programmes leading to ultimate obediance and conformity... think a greater good, to power and the population becoming a 'Paisley-Aryan' race of super(funk)children... or childrem, as might be the case.

Seriously? 'faM' since '83? Fuck. That's commitment.

But you sure try hard with your gibberish, don't you?

here's one description of a 'hater'


Hater/ By Maya Angelou

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their

time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.

They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!

When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing

you blessed...


It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?


You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...


The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...


If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!


We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb

(if he / she isn't about the right thing)


e) Raise your children without both parents being

in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.

Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side.


How do you handle your undercover haters?

You can handle these haters by:


1. Knowing who you are and who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.


A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.

Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine

prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my

life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'

Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are
not hating on you including the person who sent it to you.


If you don't get it back, maybe you called somebody out!

Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs..
Just pray for them, that their life can be as fulfilled as
yours! Watch out for Haters...BUT most of all don't become
a HATER!


'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man
should have to seek Him first to find her.'

Too often on this site, realists are mistaken for haters.

The term "fam" and "hater" are so played out.

Proud fam since 1983

A hater on this board is someone who finally kicked their long standing purple kool-aid addiction and can look at things clearly now that the paisley veil has been removed and they aren't afraid to say what's on their minds when it comes to Prince. They no longer can keep sweeping his transgressions under the rug, the pile has simply grown too high so when the same ol' bullshit arises, they are compelled to speak on it.

In other words, that would be me!

My name is Hatrina Haterwitz and I had a 29 year habit. I've been purple koolaid- free for 1 year, 3 months and 7 days. I am taking it one day at a time but just watching those that are still on it heavily like I was, makes it a whole lot easier.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

I have a question for you. If you are free of your "drug", then why are you in an environment where you can easily go and relapse back into it? That's not healthy. Oh and P:M&M is just a small part of the environment I'm talking about.

purplecam said:

Oh for the same reason a lot of addicts become drug counselors. It helps when you been there, you can better relate.

Now let me ask you a question...if the vocal presence of us haters offends you so much, why are you here and not in the safety of the Prince's internet utopia?

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

I'm not offended. Who said it offended me? I asked you a question, nothing behind it. There's nothing over at his area and even if I was in Prince's "internet utopia", you best be sure I'd be here too. I can multi-task.

purplecam said:

Prince was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Webby in 2006, for being an internet pioneer, one would think you wouldn't have to say what you just did but hey, thems the breaks.

I hate to say it but haters do not kick their addiction to prince. its a different kind of addiction, one i didn't think existed until I joined these fansites. similar to fams, haters are not objective. they hate everything and only see the negative. IMO.

Nobody hates Prince for his success. They hate him for abusing it.
