HubPages Team Changes

   samanthacubbisonposted 4 years ago

   Hello, community members—whether you’ve been with us for years or have just joined HubPages-Maven, many of you have had the pleasure of developing a wonderful working relationship and friendship with Robin Edmondson, the backbone of our community and editorial team. Robin, who has been with HubPages-Maven since its launch, recently decided to retire from the editorial team to pursue life and enjoyment beyond work. This news is certainly bittersweet, but we are excited for Robin. She will still be a part of the community, just not in an official capacity. With these changes in mind, please continue to reach out to your Network Site editors and the following team members:
   
   - Tessa Buchin, your go-to for editorial policies (contact team@hubpages.com for questions/concerns)
   - Matt Wells, your go-to for all things moderation
   - Sam Cubbison, your go-to for all things community
   
   Feel free to contact us with any questions or additional words of thanks for Robin at team@hubpages.com. We look forward to continuing her vision for authorship on our platform and we truly value you as community members.

      2020 please go away, you've done enough damage already.
      
      Robin, thank you for your hard work and professionalism over the years. You'll be sorely missed. I hope you have a fruitful, busy few years of relaxation.

      Thank you, Robin, for your commitment and hard work for HP-Maven. I remember a time about a year ago when you responded to a concern I expressed related to one of my articles. Your email was kind and considerate and you expressed empathy and understanding. May God bless you as you enter this new stage of your life.

      There is a question to be asked.
      
      Is the team right-wing?
      
      The moderation certainly appears to be.

               Well, it's been 4 days; so I guess somebody should respond.
               
               I have a lifetime of experience with corporate America, I have written blistering articles about such. Unless there is money to be made, it is just not worth my time or money to fight what goes on there.
               
               As to your inquiry, SF is a liberal bastion; as to the individual in question: unknown.
               
               I have not posted about politics much, so you are on your own as to my own personal experiences in these matters.
               
               I have been informed where there is a forum where it can apparently be a free-for-all. Interested? I won't post it here, but I'm sure it can be conveyed to you privately.

    Robin. You are one of the most sanest, most ethical, most logical, kindest persons I have ever known. You will be missed.
    
    Do at least keep an eye on Maven for us.
    
    Update, No, I am not implying any criticisms of Maven. In fact, if Maven stock were to be subjected to another COVID crash and burn; I'd seriously consider buying the stock pre-rebound.

       Another update. Robin has not quite quit corporate life as far as I can tell. I only wish I had the abilities she has. As for me, I blame it on my DNA; facts are facts. As far as investment opportunities goes; follow Robin's career and one will prosper. She has the ability to communicate (along with everything else I said); this is rare. Robin, speaking from the heart, you have no idea how much good you can do.
