Mark that sounds like the voice of experience. Can you tell me why I have missed this honor? I have been rude to people on the forums, yet I get no credo. Nice to see you.
What you need to do is write a hub that proves g** does not exist. This makes them "turn the other cheek" so badly, they feel the need to write and tell you how much they pity you and "love" you.
Nice to see you too. I was banned for a 3rd time for explaining to one of the trolls that if they bought a dictionary, they would then learn the meaning of the words they insist on misusing. This is a "personal attack" apparently. Odd that. I think I may have a few people report me every time I say something to one of the trolls or religionists. I believe this is what they call "love."
This is very true, Mark. You can't really "poke holes" in people's ARGUMENTS, at least in the forums, anymore. I think their definition of "personal attack" needs to be a little more defined, to say the least.
I can't imagine that. NOT YOU? How bad does it have to be to qualify as "hate mail"? Not sure if I got any yet. I did get some not-so-nice ones, but that's about it. Did they use profanity (too)?
Glad that you know how to take it. I have never seen anything that is hateful in you, so its a little surprising to read someone would take the time to actually send you a hate mail. And err... I guess I should be adding my congrats.
Sounds like you wrote a Hub that hit somebody's sore spot. We always like your hubs because they are original and never bland. You never can tell what will trigger hate mail. Pat writes a blog about her clothes and recently got hate mail about her shoes!
Since everyone seems to think congratulations are in order, I'll add mine. Congratulations,Sandra! In a way it really is a testament to your writing that you incited someone that much! MM
Sandra, I got a nasty message already at 4 months - what kind of indication is this for the future? Yikes,but bad mail is better than no ail- whoever wrote that was a wanker!
Welcome to the club! It was only two days after I put up my current picture that I had an Indian guy fan me just to be able to send me a message telling me that I was going to cause my family and I to burn in hell for posting such a picture, and that I should be banned for forcing other people to have to look at in the forums.
Wow! I'm jealous! I was sure if anyone read my stuff, someone would be offended enough to send me some hate mail, or at least some creepy stalker mail! Oh well! I guess I'll have to try harder.
I haven't gotten hate mail yet, but I've certainly gotten lots of hateful comments left on hubs.
I did receive my first really friendly email comment last week though. Someone found one of my hubs on another account very useful and actually took the time to write me an email. It made my day!
I don't have any hate mail yet, oh wait or any good mail either. However I became a ralwus fan, and he in turn became mine and I am not sure but I feel obligated to take a nude picture of myself laying in the grass with my hat on just to commemorate the moment. Problem with that is if I put it in my profile I will induce more hate mail than good mail as well as uncontrollable vomiting internet wide.
lol....ive never had any...in fact i get the opposite...u know the ones where they take one look at u without reading a single blog of yours and decide u're the woman for them! THAT is a nuisance of its kind too...
Sandra, I read it out of curiosity. Very impressive. I particularly liked the comment thrown in about how you try to convince people not to believe in God.
I have one Hub that brought a "Hub Lynch Mob" when people either didn't get, or pretended not to get, the message of the Hub. None of them were anywhere near as long as your hate-comment was, though.
Then there's a Hub I did that simply answered a request about whether neat freaks "have personality disorders". I essentially said that there is such a thing as a neat freak who just prefers to be neat and clean but who doesn't have OCD. Well - that one brought obscenities, as well as accusations that I am "seriously mentally ill". (I'm assuming it was messy people whose buttons I pushed. )
Oh - and then there have been a few "clever geniuses" who have accused me of working for companies (or else their competitors) whose products I wrote about (just because I happen to have the products and thought I may as well write about them. I just stopped answering those because it was getting to be a full-time job.
You never know where the hate will come from (some of the most stupid stuff); but the people who write it are usually unreasonable enough that it can be fun to poke holes in everything they say.
Congrats Sandra...I got hate mail the second or third day I signed up. Some jerk telling me that I shouldn't volunteer at Cats In Need because they are accosiated with PetSmart and blah blah blah! lmao
Took a while, but someone bought something and I got just under a dollar for it, now for another 50 years to make enough for a mars bar when I can finally get at it lol
I finally published my tenth (actually, more than ten as I'm up to number 11) hub and got what looks like a bronze medal. Woohoo! I wonder if my achieving this milestone is the reason I see fireworks outside my window?
Yesterday I had 4 ordered items with amazon. Had a look today and its 7 ordered itmes and 1 shipped I have not yet gotten 100 clicks but 7 ordered items and 1 shipped and I think its all because of one hub! One! I am amazed and keep going back to look again, like is it real? I wonder when this...
I've been watching my numbers the past few days and tonight I finally made more than one million page views! I've been here just over 5 years and almost lost the whole site in the summer of 2014. It's been a long crawl back, but with the help and advice of other hubbers, the...
