I think it's important to establish between teasing and pure hatred, because I understand why Li Akahi's story would be upsetting. That's way too harsh. My friends and family know what I like and don't like, but I think what purely establishes a hater is with how willing they are to express their hatred.
For example, my brother despises the podcasts I listen to. He believes that it's a complete waste of time to listen to "Geeks bitching about bullshit." And if you don't like podcasting, that's one thing. However, he has tried to dissertate me to not listen to any more podcasts, just lambasting how they are worthless forms of entertainment and I shouldn't listen to them when I have nothing else to do.
Even once, when my wireless earphones were playing an audio review. I was curious when something was coming from, and when I found out it was my bluetooth connected headphones, I started to turn them off. And this was in the time frame of 5 seconds. Once he heard something, he went. "Man, are you really going to listen to that shit now?"
Being a hater is all about persistence, severity and how UNWILLING you are to accept something.
