What do guys mean when they say they HATE their ex-girlfriends?

My ex boyfriend of a year "hates" me. Things between me and him ended on a very bad note. We went out for two years but was constantly on and off, and when we did get back together, it was because I'd always cave in and make up with him. He was always too prideful to apologize (for the most part) or contact me first. So the night we broke up, we got in an argument. Instead of trying to make up the next day, we instead never spoke to each other again. Weeks, months, and a year passed by. We still make no contact whatsoever despite living within a mile of each other, and we do not acknowledge each other when we do see each other (at parties, etc).

I'm still friends with his guy friends, and they keep telling me how every time my name comes up, he would say mean things like out of all his ex girlfriends, he hates me the most. He'd tell them that I "wronged" him or make it seem like I was cheating on him (I didn't), and some mean stuff that I rather not share.

At the same time, if he sees any of his guy friends getting close to me, he would tell them that they better not mess with his "girl."

I know I shouldn't care.. but seriously, what do guys really mean when they say they hate their ex? Because during our relationship, that same ex had told me he hated his previous ex too, but it seems like he still had feelings for her.. And I know sometimes when girls say they hate their ex, it means they still love them. *shrugs*
