Let Us Help HubPages ( Stop Bickering and Whining!)
I have been grown for so long I have forgotten what is was like to be a kid, lololo
Amen
Come on Julianna, it always been this way between people, and it always will be this way. There are some nice people like you around, but most fight 24/7, and some even enjoy it
Get on terms with the fact, you will sleep better.I know but in the past 6 months it has gotten worse it used to be fun and now it has become very demeaning and ruthless, completely senseless. You remember the days when people would argue but people were not reporting them even when someone sneezed, the other person would back away and then they would go about there business. HP has better things to do then monitor e-mails and ban hubbers. I know I will sleep better and I am not saying that all will get along but for goodness sake, the reporting has been out of control, someone starts it and then if they do not like what someone says they report it which is not necessary.
Paul Deeds clarified on another thread a little while ago and yes they review but pushing the person's buttons until they go over the edge isn't always necessary. If everyone could be respectful , step away and take a deep breath just like it used to be then bans would not be necessary.

and that is usually people who go after me for no reason. if someone just disagrees with me, i have no cause to do anything. sometimes i ignore them. it just depends on the person. but i don't engage short-fused people in debate. extraordinary waste of time, it seems to me.
heheheheh now that made my day! You are such a nut! I hope you don't fall!

Boys! No bickering and you know who you are let's place nice!

here we go again with ppl bickering and fighting over stupid stuff
and I thought this thread is calling for stop the bickering
I have a teacher who says "there are three courses of action - doing something positive, doing something negative, doing nothing at all! the key is to think each action through and make your choice - there is seldom a time when doing something negative is the right way! USUALLY you can find something positive to do - when you can't you can do nothing at all" So I am using this teaching all the time and recently when I got accused of something in the forums and also in a message to me personally, I put this teaching into action and first waited a few hours before replying, and then replied with a positive comment.
So - yeh, I have it all down! In future, you can just ask me, before you do anything! heh heh
so glad people are talking about this issue.
Here's to a better New Year! on HP- ralwusposted 16 years ago0
I would like to say, "one brawl at a time?" however - if you end up with less of a sammie than you started with don't blame me - and if you choke trying to swallow it while you run, well, that's just so incredibly dumb! But, each to their own, I guess! I'm just saying . . .
:You added marshmallow to the peanut butter? I'm insulted. I think
I'm starting to miss the bickering and whining! Can't we have a little bicker, a little whine now and then, just to keep us in practice~ long as it don't get outa hand, that is . . .
I tried to start a good bicker on the end of the world thread with bredavies and she just laughed! isn't there someone left who knows how to have a good bicker?
:just kidding, of course
:Another thread I see no reason for being. But, hey people love misery. So, have fun.
there you are! was wondering - how ya doing? people just wanta discuss things - ya know?
:No. People want to bring more misery into their life, like they don't have enough already.
But, thanks for playing. Not everyone's out for more misery, Cags.
Methinks there is a wolf in our midst.

well, NO OFFENSE but . . . (here we go) have you ever noticed that when people misspell things they don't notice and so they can't believe they did? not that any of that matters to me - I'm just saying . . .
now your turn - (you start by saying, "NO OFFENSE, but . . ."
When i first joined HP, i hardly noticed such bickering and rudeness, but lately it seems to be the norm.
I deliberately opted out of some forums because i may get pissed enough to diss some fanatic. And of course im always concerned about the ban or suspension. Who needs that in this great community? certainly not me or many others.
What i do is this...when i visit a highly volatile forum, i just state...I'M OUTTA HERE! (remember the usmanali saga!)and go off to find a friendlier and more informative forum.
You couldn't have put it better AEvans.- poetlorraineposted 16 years ago0
yes, yes yoshi - I agree with all that - but could you try to keep it a bit shorter in future?
haha joke joke
nyap! I'm pretty difficult to offend. Prettydarkhorse has the whole 'calm, blue waters' thing mastered and I'm nearly there ...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

it's not the arguing that bothers me so much as people whining. god, deal with your life already and quit whining like a baby. i really hate that.
developing a thicker skin was how I spent most of my childhood with 5 older sisters and brothers! It may be that much of what I say is argumenative (can't spell that) and offensive - but now you know why! And although I can dish it out and am terrifically self-centered - I get my dander up too! Sometimes I think I get into silly bantering which becomes bickering which becomes a little spat which becomes a big pain in the butt for anybody to listen to - but so, yeh. I know it. If there is any way I can offend you, please, let me help!
Wow guess I'm not on here enough to see all the bickering. You shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable on these forums. Seems every neighborhood has one I guess huh?

hey, AE, i see they locked Ryan's thread already.
so, who exactly do you think is the mysterious "culprit" (your word, not mine) singlehandedly responsible for all of the bannings yesterday, and why? be specific now.The word culprit should not have been used I apologize, I do not believe any individual was single handedly responsible each hubber is responsible for their own actions and what they engage upon, but some of the threads that are started get some of the hubbers going causing them to go over the edge and thus they are banned. Not a single e-mail that I recieved said they were upset, what they realized is they should not have placed themselves in that particular position so all are taking it very well.

HubPages Staff Protocol for Answering on the Forums
