How does one counter hate speech, trolling, personal attackand malice.
Okay, thanks. I did exactly that. I've left it, haven't deleted it, took a screen shot and sent it to management. Thank you for confirming.
You've just made me laugh:) Thank you.
True.
Very high minded.
For me, that is too much time and trouble. Not worth the energy. I like just to be able to take a snap shot and send to management. No worth dignifying with a reply, don't you think?Ignore it. Basically it's a jealousy thing I think. People who can not write, but want to become jealous of the people who can and do and then the misery loves company rule comes into play. They are basically miserable individuals who will never find success and if they can waste your energy negativly they dont feel so alone. Ignore the jerks, leave them to drown in their own misery and don't join em
Starme77, that is not something that occurred to me. Good point.
The poster had just created a hubpage account for the sole purpose of writing it. It's also quite clearly a hubber because the only time I ever used the other name was when I was here previously.
What do you mean to put comments on moderation? I haven't okayed it. As mentioned in the OP, I took a snapshot of it and reported it to management. Just waiting for them to confirm that it is real, and then will delete it. I have no intention of replying to the person. Not worth the effort.
I guess the reason that I posted it on this forum is I wanted input from others as to how to handle this in case there was anymore of that type of things.
Thank you everybody. Hubpages have notified me that the person has had his/her account banned and was, in fact, trolling others as well. I'm happy. So that will be my methodology in future - just notify hubpages with a snapshot and a link.

Should Hate Speech Be Protected?
We know that freedom of speech often allows hate speech and we know that more reasonable and rational speech combats hate speech. Should freedom of religion provide protection for religious hate speech in the same way?
