God, its a really simple point. All I'm saying is that complaining about VC haters is as stupid as me complaining about Andrea Bargnani haters. In reality, nobody outside both fanbases cares enough to bother "hating" on either player. Some people just need to accept that fact and understand that a negative opinion is exactly that: a negative opinion. Not somesort of worldwide agenda to slander your favourite player. Now I think I'll step out of this thread and allow for a handful of "OMG a Raptors fan...." responses.
What a bunch of crock. I live in Toronto and I know first hand that that statement is not true. Moreoever, there is a much more popular Raptor message board out there, in which a Vince Carter thread shows up every 2 or 3 days a week (that lasts at minimum 7 or 8 pages). It's mindboggling how Torontonians cannot get over Carter.

If you can't recognize the huge difference from when he left to now, then I don't know what to say. Booing him has become a habit more than an expression of genuine hatred. We just don't care about him anymore. Also, if you're pointing to RealGM as a representation of the Raptors fanbase then all I can do is laugh.

What is serious is your inability to process information as anything other than Vince-hate

The only rationale needed is it's a negative shot against Carter. Carter insignificant? You betta ya! Carter a career loser? Oh, yeah baby!
