  I would've taken it down sooner but I honestly hadn't noticed it. We've been very busy with new moderation tools and our work load has increased recently. Once it was reported, I took it down but it should not have lasted anywhere near as long as it did. I apologize for the appearance of inconsistency in that delay, it wasn't intentional at all.

  donotfearposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  
  You're right here,Izzy. If it's personalized directly toward you, example being if the comment was made using the word "you" with an attack behind it, that would make it personal.
  
  But if it's made as an indirect attack toward, perhaps, a group of un-named people it may not be counted as personal. I would think that if I was gay and an attack was made against gay people in general, I would be offended, for sure!
  
  I had somebody tell me once on the forums "You disgust me with your....blah blah blah". That was 'below the belt', hateful, and not necessary. It was like I was being sneered at.

  thanks do not fear, I never knew that you could be banned from hub pages as personal attacks do happen, Brenda and others have attacked many of us personally and generally but they were not banned?
  
  Mind you when you are gay it becomes second nature to expect an attack from someone as it always happens but tricky situation this must have been.

  calpol, I'm sorry if you were hurt.
  
  My brother is gay and I don't attack him....plus, wonder of wonders, do I dare say.....OMG...I'm a Christian. I'm accepting of his choice; but why should I attack? No reason at all. I may not like, dislike, approve, not approve of what some folks do, but so what? I'd rather keep it to myself, ya know? I admit there's been times a critical drop of something has come out of me. It just happens. It happens to all. But dang, I love gay people! What I detest is the spewing of rotten, mean words. It hurts.
  
  Sometimes a person can become overly zealous with their Faith. I'm not saying Brenda is or isn't. I'm saying that her style may be what gets interpreted as attacking. Kinda like reading body language. Regardless, it came across that way, you were hurt, felt attacked, and now left with unsettled feelings. Hang in there!!!

  I did not report it because it was not DIRECT. The attacker just said 'I disgusted him/her' and a couple of other things that I erased from my memory. I don't think he/she would have been banned. But it was an attack for my Belief. And I had never said not one contradictory, preachy, hateful thing to that person. It really hurt, though I know my words would have meant nothing to that particular poster. It was like it came from nowhere, a verbal criticism just because of what I believe!

  Norah Caseyposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  Well put, donotfear. I'd like to add, however, that if anyone says anything that would promote violence towards a group or individual, even if it is not directed at you, would be considered hate speech. For example, if someone were to post "all those who eat their bread butter-side up should be executed," that would be hate speech. I would like to encourage everyone to flag posts that cross the line. We might not always agree with you, but it helps to see a pattern of behavior in those who teeter on the line of what is acceptable.

  Just hit the report button and pick a reason for the report. Also, if there are more than one posts that are offensive, I'd suggest reporting the key ones. Sometimes we overlook a post, and while we may disagree that post X is offensive, post Y may certainly fall within our jurisdiction.

  yoshi97posted 15 years agoin reply to this
  So ... um ... is it okay for me to eat my bread butter-side up?
  
  Seriously, I'm with ya on this one. We can all agree with the fact that we will never totally agree on anything, but that disagreement should be kept to the topic and not to the people involved in the discussion.
  
  There's a major difference between saying something disagrees with you and saying *someone* disagrees with you, and I think that's where the line should be drawn in the sand. Also, hate speech of any kind should never be tolerated as it serves to make us all look uneducated and brutish, and this is not the kind of perfume we want to wear when we are asking others from outside Hubpages to be a part of our world by reading our articles.
  
  Inevitably, they read our discussion too, and making ourselves appear intolerant only gives the view that we as a group support such activities and are unworthy of general socialization with the typically kind public.
  
  And finally, I think it prudent that we not (in the future) ask publicly why person A got banned as it can be embarrassing for that person if they actually did something wrong and didn't want anyone to know about it. Or, in this case, if the person mistakenly thought they were banned, causing an unneeded ruckus.
  
  Questions like this are best addressed to the staff, as then they get answered properly, and any confusions (such as this one) get cleared up without any hard feelings or embarrassment.
  
  As a moderator on my own site, I can't begin to tell you what a difficult job it is to do. And when such moderation ceases I can assure you the anarchy causes much more strife.
  
  I applaud the moderators here at Hubpages and see their efforts as a contributing cause to the sites success on the Google ladders.
  
  And so ... if ya play nice the moddies won't bite ya. (but that's not to say I wouldn't bite the moddies - did I say that? Edit this out! Uh oh!)

  Well...we're all only human here, I guess. Sometimes people get too much emotion wrapped up in the forums. Frankly, I"m surprised I haven't been banned for a few of the things I've said to Brenda...I can only assume that means she has never reported me (or, I guess, if she has, that HP staff gave me the benefit of the semantics doubt). LOL Sometimes everyone loses it, I guess.
  
  In light of all the recent banning and drama, and my attention having been called to some recent world events, though...I have been trying to make things even as trivial as my forum posts more peaceful. It is difficult to break the habit of my sarcasm at times. But I am attempting to devote myself to peaceful communication. It's the world's only hope, in a larger sense.
  
  Perhaps they'll each take the time to write some Hubs and get back to the forums in a few days.

Well it's my honest opinion that anyone who removes their hubs after a scuffle in the forum seriously need their head looking at. Hubs earn more money the longer they are up. If you remove them all and post them elsewhere, they will have lost that 'time' factor.
I write for money as well as enjoyment. It's starting to trickle in now. I've no intention of running off anywhere, or even I did, my hubs would stay.

  Ah yes diplomacy. I have heard of it I think. Australians are too far away to learn about it I guess. Never been accused of it!

It's a tough one sometimes, I don't know Brenda, but the few posts I have read from her, she's no dummy, I too was banned and actually dared HP to ban me for 'this' and then copied the same post 10 times - my ban was clearly justified but the person who knew I was lets say not emotionally stable jumped all over me ever so cautiously. Should I have walked yes, I didn't because it slapped me in the face and snapped, in public here. In the lst month I had to have outside sources close 4 forums that we're a direct horrible attack on me, but did stay away, an opinions may lay where they lay.

We don't seem clear on what the situation is, but thankfully its probably only 3 days and she'll be prepared no doubt.

My lesson in all this, like most I enjoy intellectual chat, even debates, we quickly hate thes ***ing bans and sometimes valid.

I hate to admit but mine ended up forcing me to refocus and prioritize

see chicks just ramble too much,

y, brenda, off to fan you next and snoopin a hub, relax, stop looking in here and play poker-best medicine.
