Three groups of people are hating on HFT
1. Garden variety haters who don't understand it and just have hate in their hearts
2. People who understand it but benefit from more restricted markets
3. People who may or may not understand HFT but are opposed to the fundamental human right of free markets.
Not one person on this thread has made a well-reasoned argument against HFT so it's safe to assume all the haters here fall into either 1 or 3.
