Firstly, hate is an emotion that one doesn't always have to harbour against someone they know personally. That's not the criteria which believe most of the people tend to get it wrong. Secondly, one is entirely entitled to intensely dislike something or someone they disapprove of. And if you honestly have been reading SP's posts right, it's not the person that she detests, it's the person's words, his actions, his personality. For instance, one can very well dislike someone engaging in a brawl on the roadside, one can condemn someone conducting themselves violently out in the open, etc. There's a deep difference between detesting someone for they things they say or do and hating someone for no justified reason at all. There's no question of hating any contestant as a person or human being on a personal or one-one level here because like you said, we don't know any one of them personally. And besides, your personality is your makeup as a person and if that's evidently shitty, chances are people won't like you.
