"Than me" is okay when the pronoun acts as an object. If you love Sudoku more than me, that means you love Sudoku more than you love me (which, for most of you, is probably true).
But if you love Sudoku more than I, your love for Sudoku is greater than my love for Sudoku (which is unlikely).

Answer: "me," because you hate her more than you hate me. You petty, slinking weasel.
Got it?

"Got it"
"Good"
