Respect
Ok for a start we really don't know each other, we are just people who write, post a hub and perhaps exchange the odd comment. But a remark by a hubber the other day kinda bothered me and made me think about what he said.
The matter of respect on Hubpages and to be honest I have noticed certain people no longer visit my hubs. Thing is there are also people that I no longer respect or read anymore and have also unfanned.
But really is this being too judgemental on people we don't know and I watch the forums and know it's not just me that gets a bit over the top at times. I have seen certain hubbers who deff hate each other, but why? You don't really know the person but on saying that there is a male arrogant hubber who makes me laugh nightly because he actually thinks he is intelligent wheras he just keeps repeating the same crap.
So come on, let it rip, do you stop reading a hubber you used to like, for what reason? Do you care if you notice a regular fan stops reading your hubs, answers on a postcard please
Um, I have no idea what this is really about, BC (?) And I just kind glanced through the postings.
I don't read that many hubs, honestly, and never really have, especially since I work full time writing & find it hard to put up my own hubs a lot, even.
And, I figure there are some here on the forums who are here just to have fun...some here to debate, etc., etc., but I don't disrespect anyone. Only a couple (well, one to be exact) who I've yet to see any redeeming value beyond being a troll do I dislike. 'Hate' is way too strong of a word, though.
So, as far as I'm concerned, be as you are. Whatever is good.In answer to this question, yes I notice - probably because I fall into the category of "people that I no longer respect or read anymore and have also unfanned." for whatever reason.
I naively presumed that people joined a fan club because they enjoyed what that particular Hubber had to say, and the way they said it. I have since discovered that many join simply for the reciprocity. I still enjoy reading and answering comments and reading their replies, and while I see that not all my fans comment on every single hub, I respect that what I have written may not interest them, but maybe my next posting might.
I don't read every single hub from every single person I have fanned either - not because I don't respect their point of view or appreciate their hard work and diligence, but simply because that particular article might not be what I am interested in reading at the time, or possibly because like everyone here, I have a life outside of HubPages that needs attending to from time to time, and I'm not the most organized person on the face of the planet.
The only time I stop commenting on hubs is after being repeatedly ignored, again for whatever reason, which shows me my views are not of consequence to the reader(s) in question.Dont tell me that comment I made the other day bugged you so much. You're full of drama, but you're a cool dude, man.
If I cared I wouldn't come to any forum. As I said 10000 times, for me is only fun. And yes if someone attacks me I fight back. I only would unfan someone whos has been rude to me, not for what he thinks or does, a couple of christian fanatics are my fans and I am theirs. And I never unfanned you BC
not even then...- dennisemattposted 15 years ago
0 I read a lot of hubs and do not always comment. I do not think anyone hates each other on the forums, and often there are disagreements. Some people like each other more than others, and that is true on the forum as it is in life
. There are certain people in the forum that love to give me a hard time because of certain views I have. I have been trying not to participate as much as there is no point to those discussions.I see what you mean
.
I try to treat people online like I would in real life ,and in real life I sometmes get cranky or snappy too, hopefully the good outweighs the bad..
I guess it just depends on the person and their own personal boundaries (which we only see a glimpse of really,if at all).
Its a bit like high school ,in so much as we cant get away from people ,but we at least get a break
And I dont even keep up with who has unfanned me or not , because ya win some ya lose some.I've seen him in his avatar.
You know what I mean. Besides, BC will always have you, CG.
Thats a very kind thing to say ,but Im nobody special truly
Who knows one day I could get on here , shoot my mouth off and be banned..ya just never know ,so I even though I might mutter , ahem no one in particular , bloody silly buggar etc etc .. I know that could easily be either one of us melting down and BOOM ,Partys over
I hear ya re forum, its one constant power struggle after another...but I almost finished a hub today , and ezine approved an article and shot me up the list for some rss feed link...so maybe Ill make $2 this week ,instead of a few cents.
But Ive lost the edge a bit , unmotivated maybe ,dunno.
Oh thankyou again , youre either very perceptive or pulling my leg...nahh ya make up for other crap that gets said to me ,reckon we be ok broAny man that uses the words 'Gangbangers' in a hubpages forum has at least the potential to be the opposite to boring, unless that means something else in America

Don't take it to heart Badco, as you stated - people hardly know each other.
I know you have a lot of good friends on HP - so stick wiv em. Thanks Shamel when I eventually give up the Wild Imagination you shall be the Captain
------------------------------------
Oh dear friend, you're such a great writer who has wild and eventful imagination... You're one of the few whom I read and enjoy reading. Thanks for your nice words.
Awww, thanks, B.C. Back at ya!
Dude, I just edited my post after realising that and before you replied
(maybe you change your reply to me so as to not upset him) Apologies for misunderstanding that post. We all get along with different people, but there are plenty of people that relate to your persona and respect you greatly. Those that dont are not worth worrying about. Everybody that has replied to this thread seems to like you for a start. If people are as fickle and impatient as to change their opinion of somebody after one incident, on one night, then let them go. Simple as mate, chin up.I personally enjoy the presence of Cabin Girl, and so do many others. I spoke to you on here because I liked one of your hubs, I also commented on one of Cabin Girls hubs before I discovered that you were the same person.
In fact, I cared so little about this news.... that I didnt even bother to read the 'controversial' thread(s). Why should I care?
I have to admit though, that I can never reply to cabin girls direct replies to me... I dont know why, not because i am offended by it, I just cant roleplay. I know that I cant roleplay outside of my own mind because I have tried it several times with girls We all see enough of the real badcompany.
I do have one bit of advice though.... maybe keep any other alter egos that you may have under wraps for nowIm not too sure that I know anything about the Fiery issue... Im not sure if that is what this post by badcompany is about.... I misunderstood the thread at being aimed towards fiery, and maybe it was I dont know, I edited because the last thing I want is to get involved in another argument with Fiery myself
So come on, let it rip, do you stop reading a hubber you used to like, for what reason? - I haven't stoppped liking anyone, so no.
Do you care if you notice a regular fan stops reading your hubs And no again.
BC you're a larger than life character. Received for who and what you are. I understand perfectly where you're coming from and can't help but think you're heart's big and out on your sleeve.
But you know that anyway
Go and write, clear out those cobwebsAnd of the two of you CG - we know who's wearing the pants
Badco dammit ya almost bought a tear to my eye!!
Hugged me all way inside my kiwi feathers thanks bud
Im off for now play nice now ...put some badcompany and rock the house !!!!!!
Ryan, ya got my attention way back for your sassy attitude ,and endearing personality. Did ya read my ezine kudos up there ,see Im not in the forum ALL the time they liked it ...yaaayyy. 
I never stopped reading and because of my husband I have even slowed down on my writing. I cannot seem to think if anything to write about. I have not unfanned anyone even if I disagree with what they say, I quickly get over it and move on. I have even gone as far as apologizing for being snippy it isn't in my character to really be rude but I have seen it within myself lately and I do not care for it. I don't believe anyone has lost respect for you I just believe that sometimes we all fight our own demons and we feel empty and lost. I know you BC and you are harmless all of us rant some my perception of you has not changed one bit. ((Big Hugs))
This bit is for you Fiery, the Cabin Girl pulls out her gun, cocks the pistol and " Boom "
BadCo falls on the deck, I am free at last to be me the Cabin Girl, he so dragged me downCome on !! cheer up ! And start the party you were going to have! . I must leave now, but I'll be back tomorrow. Save me apint!
I am calling an ambulance !

Well then, the King is dead...God save the Queen ! Bye ! I REALLY have 2 go
Is it deja vu, or CG is going to be banned again?
- Crazdwriterposted 15 years ago0
"Love yer hubs Ryan, you keep the faith my friend. I worked out a month ago that you wont please everyone but you can outlast half the buggers. A lot that pissed me off 2 months ago are gone and it will be the same in 2 months time. They come and go but we my friend will steal the cream, keep writing ok and dont ever let anyone steal yer fun on the forums!"
-BadCompany99 (about 3 weeks ago)
Replace 'Ryan' with 'BadCompany99'..... looks like you just need to use your own words of wisdom mate
I find it ironic that you posted this.
This is a little too out there for me, badcompany. But hey what the hell do I know? You can unfan me after this post. Business is business.LOL Went to check if I am a fan of IE or not. I am, and gonna stay there
Fair enough, just curious. I cant work out who likes BC and who doesnt. So far on this thread... I can only seem to see one person that doesnt seem to like him..... so just very curious as to who the other 9 are
Thanks Misha!
Oh my RK- thanks friend. It's all good. If shamelobush(sp.sorry), ryan, crazd(is that right?) hate me, don't like me, want to lash out me; fine if it makes them feel better.
RK,
I do want to thank you my friend. You are such a "real" person, and I'm honored you call me friend. But don't fight these people on my be half darlin', we all cannot be sweating the small stuff.
And Misha, it is a rare occasion to see you and RK on the same side. I'm glad it is on my side. Thank you. I'll leave the rest of this thread to badco99.
Be well!Well sorry again for the misunderstanding. Thats all that this was, two people thinking that they were sticking up for a friend - when perhaps on this occassion a defence was not necessary/required/appropriate. And then two people subsequently sticking up for their own friend.
Enjoy your beer, thats the main thing.... there is a real world out there
Last night would be Thursday. It's BC's night of red wine???
In the matter of respect, which was the original question - when I read peoples replies to post, it gives me a little insight to who they are, some are downright rude and that gives me a first impression. Some of those posters are always rude, so I don't pay a bit of attention to them, nor do I care to run over and read their hubs. Some are fun loving, some are ditzy some are direct and to the point, and most are a combination of well thought out writers who like to have fun & debate a bit. I like to be blunt, but I don't want to come across as rude.Not sure exactly, think it was like that song again Dennise
awwwww.
i know its silly, but I know that behind every single misspelled word out there, is a human being.They are living, and all have thier own stories. Some are insecure and truly will care what they read, and can actually have thier feelings hurt. And I would feel so so so awful if anything I ever stupidly typed actaully had the abillity to cause anyone unhappiness.
Went to check if I am a fan of Ryan. Quit his club
Went to check if I am a fan of Misha. Quit his club
Which isn't really much of a loss anyway, considering he never writes any hubs and uses this forum and widespread fanning as a means of driving traffic to his other activities.

LOL Hi RK, we are not too often on the same side, aren't we?
To be honest, no
maybe one day we will find something in common - but for now, nope.
Im not sure what the 'sides' are though. I am genuinely slightly confused, you realise that I never read the BC and CG threads right?
I would say that I sit firmly in the middle. Perhaps if somebody could link to the thread I can have an opinion.

I treat all of my fellow hubbers with contempt equally (and this thread has escalated into a perfect example of why)
Most of my fans have come from people on ‘fanning’ sprees, so nope I don’t usually notice when they leave. There are hubbers I like and hubbers I loathe, but ultimately none of you are any more to me than words on a screen, and although sometimes those words are interesting, funny, clever, etc. I certainly hold no emotional attachment, sorry.- Crazdwriterposted 15 years ago0

Hey if Badco lived down my street ,I wouldnt tell him to write , Id just probably sit on his porch and have a good ole laugh at life
Hes a big boy , he signed up all by him/herself, he knows who likes him an who dont
( and hes gonna be the one with the headache an not me -Im happy bout that )hehe...Im not so sure that you would want to sit on a porch in Belfast drinking, not least because the weather is normally crap.... and most people dont have porches.
Im sure that he would let you into his house anyway eaglewiki, your not that bad.No porch ? they did in Angela's ashes ok well front step , and whats a bit of rain between friends eh...you too Ryan, you could be John Cleese

Nitey nite ~ to your best life
Crikey BC - you sure stirred up a hornets nest with this one.
10 pages in 3 hours or so!
Just goes to show that there's plenty of mileage still left in the never ending antics of the BC/CG tagteam!
And no, I haven't stopped reading posts from hubbers.
And I don't really notice if anyone stops reading my hubs.
How the heck would I be able to tell anyway ???
Cheers, Eric G.Seems it's been brought to life again, jeeeez ya gotta love an entertainer, doncha think
Totally agree with the self respect thing and everybody's ideas can be so different.
Also I think we all tend to bounce of one another or connect here n there ,and then factor in personality clashes , ego's , moods and woohooooo the parties on or the boo hooo's.
But I managed to kick procrastination out the window and get a hub done, finally.
Whatever did we do before the internet!Of course he's not, he's writing a new hub about his boring new massage chair, the guys a real tosser. I only stay with him because of our spilt personality
I am going to try to read it, then I have stuff to do besides time wasting, I will try to stop by again to see the fireworks later.
Like The Captain, I also fire blanks pmsl
pmsl? translate please. Hey CG, you want a loaded gun, can provide you one
