I’m not the kind of person who would try to make prejudice before meeting a person, but there’s this woman that I don’t know but acquired enough knowledge about through one of her social networks to hate her. I know I might be wrong, but only time will tell.
What about you ? Did you ever hate someone you’ve never met before ?

I could never hate someone I don't know, but I can dislike their opinions and actions. Do I know why they think like that or why they are the way they are? No. If i don't know them, who am I to judge them?

I think hate is too strong a word. Dislike, but not hate. There are a few members here I dislike and I think I got to know them through their discussions and interactions. Though I haven't met them personally, the personality they're showing here is the exact personality I wouldn't like at all to meet in person.

I don't "hate" anyone, but I certainly can disagree with/dislike what they do and say. I may be able to tell from what a person posts on line that I would not get along with them in person.

You cant really...reason is always there. Yes there are some people who have a tendency to dislike a particular religious kind of persons. Also there are people too who does think that these(a group) people are advantageous. Whatever happens in the world is always for a reason to support that and same thing applies to us too.

@august18 maybe she had that kind of history during her childhood or by someone she had been pressurized for something or family issue. Anything it can be..

wooooh... sorry to hear that... but as of me... hate is a great word... like you really don't like that person or won't like that person for a long time... as for me...if i haven't seen that person yet, i wouldn't hate him or her instead, dislike...

i think it is possible because of the influences we have. Sometimes we hear rumors about that person and our perception of that person would be to hate on them even if you do not know them personally. This usually happens when a friend of yours is involved.

@august18 well that could be another reason. That person seems to be mean saying sarcastic remarks.

No I couldn't hate someone I've never met. Hate is such a strong word. I don't take what people say about others at face value. I would have to meet them to form any lasting or temporary opinion.

@august18 You must 'feel' that there is something about her you do not trust.
The word I choose to use for this is indifference.

If you hear about an unknown person from others about what all they have been doing then probably yes .
