Technically I think it's a gerund, as in 'my hating is stronger than yours' which makes it a noun.

Sorry Nick: hating values is an action.  Verb, not a noun.

Lee,

Your response is self-contradictory.  Hating values IS a value.    And
besides, I know you are full of the damned things.  (values).  N

Oh, you're not alone--I hate values too!

...I also am perfectly willing to ban as many guns as possible.  My father,
who won medals for the US Marine Corps on its sharpshooting team in the
1920s and 1930s and used those skills lethally as a horse Marine during the
Second Nicaraguan Campaign, got rid of all his guns when I was born.  I am
sure that if he hadn't, at some point one of us would have shot the other
dead.

I just wanted to keep you honest, flow-of-causation-wise.
