A reader's typical reaction to Serin's activities.

Many haterz™ offer intelligent criticism.

9 out of 10 Haterz recommend HaterAde.

Haterz™ is the collective name for what is widely believed to be the majority of IAFF readers, though award-winning blogger Nigel Swaby believes that the figure could be as low as 3%.^[1] This calculation seems to be based on the assumption that everyone who didn't explicitly identify themselves as a "Hater" on the day when Stephanie J. did her census (see below) must therefore be a Casey supporter.

Hatzer™ can easily be identified by their computer screens, which are typically marked with coffee / tea / soda stains as a result of frequent involuntary explosions of laughter all at Casey's expense.

Typically, any given member of the Haterz™ begins with a neutral viewpoint after stumbling across IAFF by accident. While initially sympathetic to the cause of Casey Serin, nearly everyone soon wises up to the fact that Serin:

lives in a different world from that of normal human beings
is massively trolling in a desperate bid for attention

Since the fallout of Serin's run to Australia, the full-on hate has apparently come without abatement; if his self-moderated comments section is to be of any indication. As of 7pm June 12, Serin's final comment on the matter is as follows:

Is everybody against me? Regardless of all the mistakes, at this point I just want to do the right thing. Whatever that is.^[2]

There are only three comments, all of them Serin's. Nigel Swaby is no longer moderating, due to Casey's perception of his being unsupportive of his actions. The ranks of the Hater club may possibly be swelling as of late, and may now include Serin's wife Galina, Jesus Christ, Lord Buddha, Mother Theresa, all of the Care Bears, and possibly even Nigel Swaby.

Serin has speculated about why there was such 'negativity' in response to his blog and produced this little nugget of wisdom:

Why so Negative?
I think people were negative because:
Many (not all) people reading “Bubble Blogs” are negative to begin with.
Me calling the loan “liar loan” made it seem REALLY bad.
Some people DO NOT realize that these loans are pretty typical in the industry.
It is controversial to be this honest about my situation.
Many people think “flippers” and “speculators” are responsible for the real estate bubble - that’s debatable.
Many think I am a bad person for investing because I am just greedy and want quick riches.
People are bitter about sky-rocketing housing prices and need to blame somebody!^[3]

Despite the name, Haterz™ generally do not actually hate Casey per se, but dislike him for his alleged crimes of mortgage fraud, his obsessive (yet invariably unsuccessful pursuit of easy money and sweet deals, and/or his personality characteristics. No genuine Haterz™ have ever wished harm upon him or his family and certainly do not advocate he take the easy way out (i.e. suicide or fleeing the country). Haterz™ who have spoken to, or met Casey in person have generally have cordial relations with him. In this sense there should be no assumption that the Haterz™ are committing hate crimes or any other nonsense. Because of this concern some Haterz™ prefer to be called "Critics" or "Realists".

The opposite of the Haterz™ are the Supporterz™. Many Haterz™ began as strong or mild Supporterz™, offering well-thought-out criticism and advice to Serin; however, Serin's perpetual avoidance of any advice that disagrees with his "great things are coming" mindset and his continued blundering tends to turn even the most ardent of Supporterz™ against him in time. "MOCHA "mos def" Casey supporter"^[4] describes the Haterz™ as "a bunch of 12 year olds boyz with your kissin' cousin steph, t and FMV at the club house."^[5]

Exurban Nation has established itself as the unofficial main Haterz™ blog, though no less than ten other blogs have been started whose main topic is bashing Serin.
