Rupert would run for the hills if his humor didn't make you fall down laughing...whalewager is right, meet the guy you think you dislike for a couple of beers and everything said before would be in the past....
Seriously, hate is a bad word to use. There's people that I prefer not to hang out with, because we don't get along. But I don't hate them because we don't see things the same way or they did something I did not agree with.
