I guess someone disagrees, in the form of a downvoat.
Hatred is an emotion-driven action. All emotions are originally gifted to us by the Creator, but evil took many and twisted them.
I don't know whether I would call the 'hate speech' deployment anti-biblical. But it's certain diabolical. So I guess, yeah.
Mod grieving? I guess so. Our dauntless u/bob_a_bouy kind of just straight up said: "you mods running the board aren't actually practicing American First" (paraphrased)
I mean, he's entitled to his buoyant opinion, but yeah, it's a swipe.
I notice, also, that he got a one day ban. A slap on the wrist.
I once had a 3-day ban. After I got over my sense of outrage (and entitlement), I found it to be a very beneficial experience. Got an important concept into my head.
I want to encourage bobbybouy to hand around and see what sort of a contribution he can make. You might not agree with the view the mod expressed, but maybe there was a lesson there, too.
Not mine. I’ve been downdooted here just for giving blessings. Good old shills.
“Hatred is an emotion-driven action.”
If I may posit something for your consideration…
NOTE: It’s morning. I looked right past the word “action” even while pasting it, and focused on “emotion”, which this is still a good point toward, it just might not have been what you were saying. I bothered to write this though, so I’m posting it for anyone who might need to read it anyway!

Far be it from me to lean on a possible cabal-managed Christian pop-rap group (not that they’re under control, necessarily, but the labels tend to be under the umbrella) for theology, but I’ve always liked this song because they’re right, and this one small note upends the use of the word “love” in virtually every other song that uses it.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity (“love”) suffereth (verb), envieth not (verb) is kind (verb) is not puffed (verb) does not behave (verb) isn’t provoked (verb) thinks no evil (verb) verb verb verb.
Hatred being the partner of love, also must be a verb (the “opposite” of love being “apathy”, not hatred. Absence of pathos). Hatred then, is simply not mixing with or repulsing from. It does not inherently require anger, violence, disdain. There are most certainly unjustifiable ways of hating things (“he who hates his brother is a liar”), but there also seem to be commanded ones (e.g. “hate sin”).
The word “faith” (“ĕmûnâ“) also refers to action. I prefer to say “obedient action” than “faith” these days, and “unmerited favor” rather than “grace”, among other nonsense words that translators have used for some reason. Point being, it may be more accurate to see these things as action-based, not emotion-based. It really changes perspective on things.
Long story short, whether that argument is fully or partially right, it is still true that if “speaking hate” is bad or forbidden, then it is impossible to speak out against sin, and to advocate “repenting”, or “turning away from” it, which is where the “antibiblical” comment came from.
If you missed the post on Islam yesterday btw, it was great for illustrating the opposite issues with being “justified by action”, rather than “justified by unmerited favor, through obedient action, lest any man should boast”.
