Initially....
Ok, I did it.
Initially, I didn't care for eddy. I saw his picture. I thought oh my god, If this guy has one more picture posted of him doing a thumbs up sign with a glass of Guinness in his hand, I'm going to puke. I thought he was sort of pretentious because he was an american student in Ireland, and he was having a great time. I think it was because I was jealous of his traveling and studying abroad. He's had a lot of opportunities, and I want those too in my schooling.
See, now eddy and I are good friends here on the cult. He likes me, and I like him. I get his jokes, and laugh at them, instead of rolling my eyes and going, pff, that was dumb, mr. pretentious.
If you're going to post in this thread, you have to be completely honest. if you're afraid of what others think of you, don't come in here. I'd be nice if everyone could turn their "I didn't like you" into "but now I do". But I'm not making that mandatory. If you don't like someone, and your opinion hasn't changed, or has gotten worse, then maybe this isn't the place to say it. But then again, maybe it is.
I also really like it when he says he feels like i'm his little brother. I've never had a brother, it's just alway been my older sister and I (who I am close with). She's married now, and it's been great getting a brother in law. But, eddy, you're number two. haha, how corney, but it's true.
Who's next?
ok, that was waaaay not enough explanation.
And, for every thing you didn't like about someone, you should try to have at least that many good things to say about them now. please.

That whole "Too" thing way he starts sentences doesn't get on your nerves?
I didn't like Nightrious at first because he embarrassed me when he admonished me for posting something in the wrong thread. It made me feel like a retarded old lady and I thought he was incredibly rude and had been raised by wolves what with those manners.
But then I read his life story that he posted and we got to talkin' and he's one of my favorite niggas in the world. Seriously, that's a friendship I treasure.
I really hated notme777777777777777777 at first. Like, a lot. But now he's ok because he stopped trying so hard and chilled out.
There's nobody else that I haven't really liked, but there are a few who I find annoying at times. I'm too nice and I don't like conflict, so I'm going to wuss out and leave it at that.
And it might be weird to some of you, but Jane is like part of my real life (we text a lot and I want her to marry one of my brothers). I talk about Jane and Six (good things, trust me) to people in my life like Drew and my Mom because Jane and Six are both girls I think very highly of for various reasons (and I've always liked boys for friends way better than girls so that's saying a lot).
yeah i remember when i first started posting i thought nightrious was whiny and kind of immature. then i left and when i came back, he was posting these amazing stories and great musings and it was a completely different nightrious. i honestly think he posts the best stuff out of all of us.
too, i didn't like eddie at first. he got on my nerves, i was like "who's this kid with tight jeans and scarves telling me my posts are boring?". then we argued a few times and talked in chat a few times and he turned out to be a funny and intelligent guy.
i don't really hate anyone here right now. some of you are annoying and kind of gay sometimes but i don't really care.
I remember when I first started posting here and Nightrious made some thread about how he was leaving and just called everyone out, saying all the shit that was wrong with them. I read it mostly peripherally and didn't know if everyone took it seriously or not. It sure seemed like they did. And I thought "this is my kinda dickhead!"
Then he got into that whole thing about scamming people from their money on eBay with some kind of world of warcraft scheme and I thought "this is NOT my kinda dickhead!"
My opinion of Nate has never wavered. Like I've said, I only started posting on the forums because as a lurker I couldn't respond to his posts. Parker's a fucking legend.
Spartan art is the real made hysterical.
Initially, I didn't like Six. I thought she was rude and childish and I wanted nothing to do with it. She'd copy some of my posts in their entirety and I felt like she was mocking me. One day, I PMed her and asked her what her problem was. She said not to take it personal and that she liked me. After getting to know her more, I realized that we have a ton in common. She's hilarious and I don't know why people take her so seriously when she says rude things, because 99% of the time they just make me giggle. I don't usually have girl friends, but she's a good one.
I hated most of you the first time I came here.
In fact, I still hate most of you.
"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities."
I hated most of the first time I came here.
HOW CAN YOU HATE TIME?!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I only liked Tom and labelleza for like, my first six months.

At first, I didn't like Ritt. I felt like he didn't like me, and it hurt, but I PM'd him, and I realized he was just that way. Now I get along with him quite well. Or as well as one can when he's all over the place.
Initially, I liked Eddy, and then recently, I didn't like him so much. He seemed to get angry at me a lot, and I know now that it was probably because I purposely did things that he had just told us mad him angry. DURR! Also, though, we have clashing world views, and his socratic method of arguing gets on my nerves because it puts all the onus of arguing the point on me. But, that's just how he is, and I'm getting used to it. I can't dislike someone like Eddy just because of their world view.
Well, I CAN, but I won't. Also, after his PA, I realize that he's really just a yappy dog, rather than a scrappy one.

I believe I was "a spoiled little rich bitch who talked like a tramp to get attention for something I wasn't."
The thread is gone now, but I said something demonstrative of how I felt then, but it's for the best that it's gone because now I'm his biggest fan, gunna follow you until you love me, papa, paparazzi... brb I have to fuck up Fano in the confession thread about something...
Anyhow, I'm sure there are a few but I can't think of anyone I didn't like/don't like without a reason that my opinion has changed of, except for YOU, Mister Parker. We had our words and it took maybe six years to come around but now you're my boy, blue.
I am still pissed that you used to confuse me for owenwarlord.
also, is that thread gone? I could have sworn I was just reading through it a couple months ago.

See, I think that conversation was essential to our relationship. You are one of maybe five people here who understands that half of the time I'm wearing a rude mask, all vaudeville about it. Slapstick bitchiness, I couldn't afford to be this much of an ass with any heart behind it. Even when I do mean it, lately, I can't get fully behind it without doing something smirk worthy.
Anyway Uh, I like, love you, and junk.
..but it's for the best that it's gone because now I'm his biggest fan, gunna follow you until you love me, papa, paparazzi... brb I have to fuck up Fano in the confession thread about something...
Perhaps you can't understand the level of entertainment I gain from this.... trust me, it's quite high.
Oh boy, you just made my night. 
I guess i rub a lot of people the wrong way.
I'll be back when i'm more sober and have more time.
We like us just fine. Why must we suck each other's dicks all the time?

In the beginning, I didn't dislike any of you, I was just really intimidated by your smarts and the close relationships that were shared. Now that I'm somewhat integrated into the community, you're still all knowledgeable and interesting, but I feel like I can contribute.

Same here, but I just went to find my reply to it, and it's gone.
I haven't really been around long enough to figure out that I don't like you guys. (I have been a member since early this year but only posting regularly for a few months) That'd just mostly be my personality trait of liking nearly everyone I meet initially. I'm rather firm on the giving everyone a chance bit, regardless of whether or not our life stories are anywhere near similar. I like difference. Why the hell would I want to hang around someone just like myself all the time anyway? I annoy me enough as it is, really.
Also my tendency to feel that anyone who thinks I'm not good enough for them most obviously wasn't worth my time to begin with.
Although, I have found out this past week that I, personally, am forgettable (in forum form at least) through Eddy's comments that he does not remember me and Nate's comments that he confuses me with Red. Which, in a way, is a shame since those two are a couple of the members that stick out to me the most whenever I post/read.
Mostly the other newbs tend to annoy me. I thought Z was nothing more than an attention seeking whore from her fist post until about a week and a half ago, then suddenly near everything she say's has some tender endering quality that makes me want to smile her way.
Concerning longstanding regulars, Six goes on and of my radar as annoying/frustrating/awesome as all hell/why didn't I meet this girl years ago? But she is about the only one, really.
Have I mentioned I'm a little drunk? And everyone I haven't mentioned are my favorites? 
YAY! CULT!

If it makes you feel any better, I differentiate you two with "you're the one that cut off the dildo with the garden shears in that one picture thread."
That was you that cut off your dildo with the garden shears in that one picture thread, wasn't it?

I guess drupal finally ate it, or he deleted it from shame.
The one where he admits to molesting the dog is still there though...

Isn't that the same thread??? I don't see it. Fuck it all anyway!

I don't think I've EVER done anything annoying or frustrating to you/in your internet vicinity, but I'll make sure to get right on that.
How has no one hated on Corellion yet? C'mon!
This thread is about initially hating someone, and then liking him. The lack of mention of his name says something.
He's banned, it doesnt matter!
but like it was established when you were banned not too long ago, you can still lurk. and i'm sure he's lurking close to this thread, waiting to be hated.
"Matt, you pretty much just SLAMMED your square ass right in this round hole. You've officially fit in." - Six On The Dot
Why was he banned?
he always reminded me of a chihuahua. I imagine him with short hair and big ears in real life.
He had a moderator fight, Kirk said something that didn't even make sense, HUBRIS HUBRIS, and then he changed his password to a bunch of random characters he doesn't know, so he's self banned, but I imagine most of these alts are him, so he's probably IP banned now.
Why was he banned?
probably abusing the shite out of someone continuously, and them complaining. or swearing his little dick off in shout. after being warned. so hardcore.

hahahaha! whatta dolt!
i initialy didn't like corellion because the first time i ever spoke to him or had anything to do with him, in chat, he was a dick constantly. he tore shreds off me for like ale. it wasn't cool, or hardcore enough or some shit. then he went on about shiraz for a while and left.
i still don't really like him. hopefully it was all a big joke and at some point this story will end in the happiness that is me liking him.

Refer to previous part of my self absorbed post (in where I banter on and on about myself instead of others) to see how it may not need be in my personal vicinity to strike me as odd.
What the hell were we talking about?
Oh yeah, I think you're pretty cool and pretty pretty, so gimmie your best shot at getting on that.

What a lemon party you new fags are throwing.
I love my girls, here. Six and Alecia and Taylor and Shana and Mika.
I can't say as there's anyone I initially disliked and now dote upon, because I'm usually pretty slow to form opinions about people, both IRL and on the Cult. But I do love how I've gotten to see a few people change over time--specifically thinking here of Six, Nightrious, and Levi--and grow into different people, and realizing that I still like these new people just as much, if not more, than their earlier incarnations. I guess that's what friendship is.
Fuck your face off, Paula Deen's coming on.
--Alecia
In you forgetting to mention her, Jane, I suddenly really miss Bess.
Mostly the other newbs tend to annoy me. I thought Z was nothing more than an attention seeking whore from her fist post until about a week and a half ago, then suddenly near everything she say's has some tender endering quality that makes me want to smile her way.
Awww, shucks! Send those smiles my way!
I'm stupidly surprised at the reaction I got from the Dress Down post. First of all, because it wasn't my first post by far, and I'd even started a couple of threads and was in chat every few days getting told by just about everyone that I really needed to post in Dress Down! But, alas, I wouldn't change a thing cos I really like the Cult and everyone in it. I like the diversity and the interaction and I've come to find some really cool people, so I don't care if a few people think I'm an attention seeking hoochie mama.
That being said, I dig you, Pepper! I totally thought you were a guy at first, but yeah, I have a fondness for you for some reason? You always seem to say something off the wall. I dig it.
I was scared of Eddy at first, really. The way everyone talks to and about him, and the things he says to other people, I was really intimidated by him. But, I talked to him in chat a few times and I really respect the guy. He was honest with me about the Cult, about the poeple in it. Telling me how things work and I really respected the fact that he would take the time to explain shit to a n00b like me! I get his humor, and his posts usually make me laugh.
Other than that I don't think I've been here long enough to get to know anyone for my mind to change about. It's only been like three months, so I feel like there's still time to make enemies and mend fences.
Intially. Jill's Tit was a girl! Member that?
Z! It wasn't your dress down though! I thought you looked quite pretty and brave to to post that. Welll, the bath pic that is, I gotta say, the butt pic was icky. 
I thought you were a dude too! Until the dress down pictures.
I think it was some weird stuff you said in the shout box and on some random thread that turned me off initially. Funny though, now that more of your personality is coming out you remind me quite a bit of my wife (who is actually my dear friend but has called herself such for a few years now)
(grey pistol black pistol hungry little knife)
(everything I carry in the back of my mind)
Aww, I'm sorry my booty offends!
I know that I'm offensive at times, but I really just try to say what I feel when it's important. Some people find it very hard to discern when I'm joking, though.
At least you understand about my wife! Most people are just confused by it. I'm happy someone else understands the joys of a fake marriage!
HAhaha! No worries! I keep my mind to mys5elf more often than not (five, six drinks down give me gusto tonight) and when I do pip up people look at me weird, don't know how to take it. It's all just internal jokes I've been having with myself though that I forget and assume others are in on, hence the off the wall nonsense.
I have a disturbing thought suddenly though... where do you live! Quick! It's important! What if my wife is your wife is my wife is yours? YOu don't think that girl is cheating on us do you!!?!?!
