Note
A single spelling covers the past tense and the participle, so the meaning depends on which verb sits behind it. Usually it is plain aversion. Online, a post disliked by readers has been voted down. Older English reverses the roles: in the obsolete sense "displease," used only in the third person, the offending thing is the subject, so it disliked him meant "it displeased him."
