Cowards on HubPages
He is a troll and appears to be here just to fight.
http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/10090
I am not sure starting another argument in the forums is going to do you a lot of good though. I for one think people should be allowed to delete whatever comments they choose from their own hubs.
Like I always say to anyone who starts fighting on my hubs or blogs -
I am the one with the "delete" button - therefore I get to have the last word
Well, even though we are on the internet, there are still libel laws around.
I just do not think you are going to get this sort of person to give in. They feed on fighting and animosity. They like nothing better than upsetting people and watching their reactions.
It is obvious he is just here to sow dissent and discord. I spotted him the moment I read his profile page. With a little luck he will attack the wrong person and get himself deleted
I always knew you Indian elves were cowards deep down
You know me so well Mark, lol.....jimmy
Well, I guess the difference among us is you assume people don't change. If they are nice - they are nice, if they are idiots - they are idiots. Forever. With that assumption, your position makes some sense - why bother?
Can't say for Mark, but I assume that people do change actually, and sometimes pretty fast. I think even here on HP we saw several examples of people coming here all guns blazing playing idiots and becoming respected members of the community after a cold shower. We help them to change, and I think it's a worthy deed.
On the other hand, I am not buying into "supporting Hubpages reputation". I had more than enough of this line back in USSR, always without exception used to restrict my freedom/rights. Since then, I don't care about reputation of any community I belong to, be it family, neighborhood, city, country, nation - you name it. I only care about my own one. Community reputation will take care of itself.
Now, about what you mentioned on another thread about driving newbies away. Frankly, I don't care either. If people don't understand what the fight is about on those threads, they probably should not be online, and I definitely am not interested in having them around. Yes, there are probably some would be hubbers who would have been evolved into valuable community members. This is the cost of keeping this community as enjoyable and vibrant as it is now, and I am willing to pay it.
Try to look at it as an entry barrier. Yes, it does not weed out all idiots unfortunately, and it does weed out some worthy people - but it does its job on average and makes this community what it is - one of the best in town for people who think for themselves
Guess you must have been here in another persona then?

0No, Marlene-
No worries! Much of this here is in double entendre with people just having fun.
I admit they did come on a little strong with me (well, one) when I first tumbled on the forums, but I am who I say I am and do what I say I do. A lot of the brusqueness has to do with scammers and spammers and people trying to convert others to their religious views, etc.
There are some nuts on here, but after you get used to them, you'll know how to avoid them... There are also some very intelligent and well read people on Hubpages. Some excellent writers. - Leta Sposted 14 years ago0
I'm sure there is space for everybody... Best (for me) is just to give others space. I'm not that offended by differing opinions.
What I thought, when first on here, is that there are some very professional people on here--what do I want to say? Serious writers, etc.? And people who are who they say they are and do whatever they profess to do (man, you gotta to if you are using your actual name). And I was expecting it to be more across the board. I made my way in the print media for years, so-- It's a different world from internet.
But viva la difference! And there are some great people of all types on here.
Just need to avoid (or change!) the trolls.

I'm asking this question because I am genuinely curious. I have never reported anyone on any forum for personally attacking me, even though it has happened. I never will report a personal attack, unless it rises to the level of something scary, like a threat, as in "when I find out where...
