Well, what you describe isn't
40k hate.... saying they don't play due to the current ruleset is not hate, its just tabling a game for a while.
40k Hate is people going on tirades against it (definitely happens).
*shrug* it varies area to area. I used to be a die hard privateer guy until i got burned out on the game, and took up fantasy about 3 years ago. Just picked up a tau army. I"ve been having fun with these games now and don't feel the itch to go back to privateer, but then again, I have no need to slam privateer games either. I had an enormous amount of fun with them over several years, the main reason i stopped playing is my playgroup disintegrated, and i got really burned out on the tournament scene after being a hardcore format player for a long time.
I find that groups go through periods, and the period has a domino effect. If one or two players announce that they are not going to play a game anymore, or take a break, that's usually enough in a club atmosphere to start a chain reaction, especially if there's a new game with a low price point buy-in that they are promoting as substitute.
At games stores its a little different, because often there's mini groups within groups, so the ebb and flow of games typically isn't quite as wholesale as it is when just a couple people wander off to a new game.
If that club doesn't like
40k in 6th ed, maybe they'll like 7th ? Who knows !

... how in god's name does someone go 4 BILLION dollars in debt.
I mean, at 2 billion, don't you wake up and say, "Hey, that's as hit ton of money i'm in debt, i should probably stop the bleeding....".
I'm not much of a sports guy but i caught that headline a few days ago and was simply flabbergasted.
