Hater. A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.  At some point we’ve all experienced this…either as the hater or the hatee or been an observer of the two.  I’m somewhat active on twitter (www.twitter.com/flavachordz) and from time to time, I read the tweets of celebs.  One thing I find amazing is how celebs respond to "hater tweets."  We all love being told how wonderful we are, but when the exact opposite occurs, sometimes war ensues…war of words.  They’re fine (the celebs) until someone says that their performance stunk, or their outfit stunk.  Look out!  Many of those celebs go straight HAM on people.  Arguing with a "fan" is never a good idea, ESPECIALLY over inconsequential minutia. Heck, arguing with anyone over insignificant stuff is not prudent for any of us.  But as people, we all have this innate sense of preservation and survival.  In the case of celebs, they’re trying to preserve their image, influence, brand and swag.
