I asked the question of accofranco, yesterday, probably shouldn't have singled him out. But as a relative newcomer only been here a bit short of a year...Took awhile to get writing, I really value other peoples opinions.
For example you may think someone asks to many questions, or that they don't ring true.
Sure I could go on their site and ask them.... But are they going to tell me the truth, Most people that have nothing to hide will, however for that small group that do, here is a chance to come out and say just what you think.
That way everyone can put their side accross.
And that Rik Ravado is full of bravado!
It seems that you wish to have someone new singled out.
Why the compelling need to dig up the dirt on people you don't know? It's not like you've got a legitimate grievance against anyone. The thread appears to be nothing more than trying to kick start controversy.
Maybe I am not just an nice little artist from Ao Te Roa, perhaps I too have a darkside, anyone caring to investigate is welcome, No I am just trying to get into the psyche, of other Hubbers, afterall you have to admit there are some weirdos out there........ Perhaps i don't like weirdos, perhaps I am just another nut case myself, or perhaps I want to get rid of the A>>>> H that is putting B>S on my site that is slowing down my Computer..... aaaah now thats the real one. Got nothing to hide don't fret, no one has named you have they?????
mandybeau, hubbers are just people. We aren't here to sell you a car or a house or offer marriage. When we signed up, there was no credit check, no requirement for squeaky-clean character references, no swear-on-a-bible to always tell the 100% truth about ourselves.
We're here to write, get feedback on what we write, and for some, cyber-socialize with other hubbers. Period.
It certainly does sound like your only purpose in starting these threads is to create controversy. I suggest you write a hub instead that includes your concerns and then the ensuing controversy will be confined to its comments section.
It is simply a forum post, I am asking the question, if no one wants to answer then so be it. However some have, so in the interests of freedom of speech, lets not go down the track telling me why I am doing something, and for what reason, I don't like unfair summisals, I think it is time to ask these questions, when you get someone able to post photos on your site, where you haven't even posted a photograph yourself, and the fact it was some dork carrying a hand gun, after it appeared he had just shot, a big red thing, I will say to HP that they can cut me off but until that day I am still going to ask. If not only for the sake it is time, that someone did. I am damned sure I am not backing down now.
I don't suffer fools gladly and there are some people out there that don't deserve our consideration.
Again My opinion. My tactics work I have accofranco as a fan, he is not upset about the recent Hub about him, so why should anyone else be.
Anyone is welcome to say whatever they want about me.........or even write a Hub if they feel like boring the World.
I don't know where to begin. HubPages holds many secrets. You'll find organised crime here, gangsters, pirates, spammers, grifters, cheats and liars. (And that's just the HubPages staff!)
Sometimes the name gives their true nature away - Darkside is self-explanatory. There are certainly some really scarry people here. But I'm too afraid to name them. But before you comment on anyone's Hubs or forum posts make sure they don't know where you live! This is why my avatar hides my true likeness.
Too funny. I actually did receive a series of angry emails from a conspiracy theorist who believed that I was the head of an international gang of hubbers--of course, he only decided this after his hubs got moderated.
And another fella insisted that HubPages is a front for Homeland Security.
I'm surprised, really, that nobody's decided I'm the devil yet.
Hell Ya! These are the reasons I joined hubpages to begin with! You gotta love the hub community with all this excitement.
I'm a little uncertain about CC and Pest. I think they're having a thing going with The Toad.
Hahah I thought they were A O.K. Do you think I'm being a cow asking this question????????????????????????Jama genee has her self in a twist over it, Oh and I like the toad, he has to be alright, going out there and saying he is a Toad... plus I like his Hubs, they do not give me the eewwy gewwies at all.
true I am a toad. I am uncertain of everyone on here after reading Christoph Reilly's new hub.
http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Strange-Tal … y-Malachek
All of them. I have learned the truth.
(Thanks for the plug, Toad)
You stated your opinion, I stated mine. Just because I don't happen to agree with you does not mean I've 'got myself in a twist'. You're the one who said "I won't back down". Nuff said about what these threads are about.
Thanks I felt you were over reacting, but then I don't really know you, so its hard to guage. Friends again lol
I don't know about others but I personally don't have the urge to be "certain" about anybody(including myself). When I say myself I am not certain (when I should be in complete control of my mind and body) whether I will go to the gym today or do what I am supposed to do. And if at all I have to venture about others then even after being married for over 2 months there are new things myself and my husband are discovering about each other. In fact I find life fascinating when there is a little mystery to it.
Thanks JG, now I got to try to use that mind of mine to get this body to the gym today (no more excuses today). Have a great day folks and relax/enjoy
Two months? OH and I have been living together nearly 12 years, and he's always surprising me.
I'm uncertain about myself. Just what am I doing here? Is this some kind of alternate reality or something? I find myself very mysterious and a little shifty, especially on alternate weekends and sometimes on Mondays. They are usually very hard days. I am almost never in control of my mind or body on Mondays.

I've seen the "PC Load Letter" error in the course of my highest paid vocation ever--the lead tech as a firedog Circuit City goon. Oh my gawd, I wanted to take a bat to it too.
Should have, in retrospect, actually.
GLM
I'd be VERY uncertain of me if I were you.
I'm from a feared government Alphabet agency, and am compiling a huge database of everyone's online earnings. Agent AccoFranco is working on the "Date of Birth" project that is associated with this one. Thanks to everyone who responded.
Some people have apparently earned well over a dollar with Adsense. Expect a knock on the door real soon.
But I've said too much. Now we'll have to neutralise everyone who has read this forum post. Just leave your name and address in the comments below.
On second thoughts - don't bother. We can easily find it if we don't have it already.
Eric, you avator looks James Bondish, is it you???????
So I felt ah spy may be he works for more than one side, or is he sitting on the fence, feeling the wrath of the barbed wire..... Love your Hubs. I may be wrong, but you are on the Good list (Sorry<)

Yes, it's me.
If you knew where I used to work, you wouldn't put me on the "good" list :-). Trust Christoph.
Eric Graudins is a very dangerous man. He is a master of disguise. Trust no one.
Beware of anyone pointing at you with a writing implement and no paper.
Than k you he is marked as dangerous as from today i will always watch my back around him lol.
No need to do that. Just listening for the knock on the door will be sufficient. (I've just highlighted your name on my list.)
Hell no, Can I delete, will that make it go away lol. Besides I live in an ex Brethren House no windows no Doors, ya just buzz me.
Have you seen those maps though getting worrying, they reckon, they have the technology now to see inside you house not just out....... Is that your lot?????????
Actually its made of Human hair. Don't ask where i get it......
Be very very careful. All Eric wants to do is sell you a Keyboard with a bug in the Enter key. Every time you enter you exit.????
I knew it!! Eric is an ex-CIA operative sent into HubPages to keep tabs on all of us!! Christoph, you are right to say he shouldn't be trusted!! I deny everything I have ever said about myself or anyone else. I even deny this statement.
Paranoia is a healthy trait. Could someone tell me that's right.
When it's healthy it isn't paranoia - it's just being smart. I've had a few comments on my hubs, though, that were by people who so wanted to show how "smart" they were they made up whole scenarios about "what I must really be". The only thing was they were completely wrong and looked like nuts to me.
On the other hand, I suppose there's something amazingly wise about wearing a tin foil hat at all times.
I think that you are a very earthy person.lol
Tin foil well thats novel, doesn't it get hot in there?
It does, but the good thing is that on a hot afternoon you can toast an English muffin on it too.
My tin foil hat doesn't allow my head to breathe, sure, but it does reflect sunlight well. Oh, and it adds to my cellphone and radio reception.

I keep hearing that everything we experience in life/reality is a creation in our minds; a dream, so, who knows what dream character we will be, we could shape shift in a minute! So there are no certain hubsters!
I'm not bothered about the uncertainty of hubbers here, I'm more concerned about the uncertainty of being uncertain.
WOW!! I like your sarcasm and hope to see more of it.
Sarcasm for the win!
I wonder what it was like for the first person to use it...you know? Like..
(P1)"How was dinner?"
(P2)"Oh, it was just great."
(P1)"Really?!"
(P2)"Nah, I was just being...oh crap, what do I call it?"
G|M
Awwwe, thats a bit too vague though! By your definition, politicians are sarcastic all the time! =P
To make sense of there nonsense one does need a lot of common sense which isn't a sense which is common. My piece of advice when you do come across politicians then train your senses to follow these steps
Sage advice, rock on!
Personally, if they're going to be bickering over nothing all day I'd love to see them throw chairs again. It'd make C-Span SOOO much more interesting.
It worked for Lincoln.
G|M
Now you are making me a nice device to give wise advise
*Grabs his well used thesaurus and dictionary*
Give me ten minutes, I'll rhyme something...no really, I swear. =P
Ten minutes up Btw no SWEARing!!
Ok now I don't want to breach what I preach
Haha...obviously I need to listen to more rap.
Rat-a-tat-tat. I don't rhyme as often as I do anymore...
G|M
I know a few who consider rap as crap. If it is you then here is the slap
but if its not you then here is the clap
Next time I fire up my home audio computer I'm going to make you some beats and send them your way.
And I'm with you LisaHW..crazy is as crazy does! And I've got a whole bottle of insanity sitting in front of me.
Hey look, I rhymed! Its about timed!
Ok now you did "rhyme" but to call it rhyme would be a crime.
And you continue with the line. Can't you throw me a bone, or am I just a ball of slime? Hey look, I've got a lime.
Is this working? Nein.
If you really want a bone then please say in this tone
that I just want a line which would then be fine
Then just for you my friend I will try to set a new trend
will reach a dead end but with hope for relationships to amend
(You're getting me back into the swing of things...)
Nothing but admiration do I wish to send,
Your knowledge through your Hubs do you lend.
I can't quite continue, for its getting hard to comprehend.
Will be back later I got to go and cook something before my husband comes home. It was great talking to you and I guess I had way too much fun today (which is not good)
Whats this hi jacking my post to write poetry, great sense of humours both of you
mandy
Thanks mandy.
Hey, we were just keeping it alive and well. Anyone can go back to your original post and respond from there.
G|M
I join G|M in stating that we wanted to keep this conversation lively and thanks for appreciating our humor I think I have taken sufficient break. Gtg back to work!
I think it's brilliant, I have noticed in the past How people get way off the original subject, its sort of a conversation starter, makes me look good.
Mandy
And more sane, Mandy.
But as far as threads go....they have a shelf life. I've never understood the concept of someone making a thread about one topic and then getting irritated about how people take off on parallel (or completely diverge from..) conversations.
This thread will sink to the bottom of the HubHangout ocean at some point, but if people *really* want to continue on with its most relevant topic, they will.
By us getting all willy nilly..we're helping keep its 15 minutes of fame alive.
Sincerely,
G|M
I thought I had contributed all I had to contribute to this thread, but I couldn't resist returning with this answer to the question it asks (after some recent HubPages activity):
No. I think we can be fairly certain of most Hubbers, one way or the other. Most of the time, crazy is pretty is pretty obvious.

If you could, what advice would you have given yourself when you first joined hubpages?
by Kristy Callan 9 years ago
When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...

Whenever I'm in the market to buy something; especially something expensive, (which is often), I try and search for the product from Hubbers who are my fans.1. It'll improve the Hubpages/Amazon/Ebay Affiliate relationship maybe?2. I get to read about the product while purchasing.3. Most of the...

hub:/hub/Non-Destructive-TestingJust wondering like if there's anything I can do as a user to "hop" older hubs or something. I often come across hubbers with extremely low hub scores (like 1 or 5) and I was wondering if HubPages has a tool to like find these hubbers and then like manually...
