   Does this prove I was targeted and banned by a "special" group here?
   
   This was said to a Liberal hubber on a thread:
   
   "Just be careful. The HP police are always about and I'd hate for you to get your panties in a wad, say something too nasty, and get banned before we've discovered we dislike you completely."
   
   Who is "we"? And why do they have the power to get people banned? And why does HP allow this?

   Sounds like ridiculous nonsense to me. I don't know anyone from HP and haven't had any encounter with them, but I really suspect that they have far better things to do than run around policing petty spitfights. Some people online seem to develop strange emotional attachments to forums, ranging from Master of the Universe types to those who think there are grand conspiracies being waged against them. While Hubpages has an interest in maintaining a level of decorum, I seriously doubt there is any organized persecution.

      You would think so, JS. However, I've seen some hubbers banned for some really petty stuff. LMC was one of them. She felt wronged and understand why. The HP police have been cleaning house lately. Several have been banned.

      Perhaps you could tell me then, why I was banned, and AV and LL were not?

      Well, you did threaten him. Maybe that is what did it. Or perhaps you simply got reported more. Maybe it had nothing to do with that thread at all. At any rate, hold more constructive dialogues and it shouldn't be a problem.

      And for qualification: IMO, what LH was "threatening" is "watch what you say, or "we'll" get you." What I was "threatening" is "stop insulting me, or I'll report."

      The context of my remark was "watch what you say or the HP police will get you." Hell, they've gotten me a couple of times. Surely, you're not trying to say I helped get you banned. I wasn't even on that forum.

      LMC: Again, I don't know how it works, but my suspicion is that they do not spend hours analyzing these situations like you have. Personally, I suspect they spend a couple of minutes. So, snap judgments rather than careful and balanced analysis.

   Yes.  I'm sure it can't be too overt (sneaks and wrongdoers generally cheat to get their way, and oh yeah, HATE being held to account.  It is very ironic that one such commenter below attests that the threshold is malleable, and yes, petty.  It is also opaque and seems to follow the whim of hubbers with very suspicious influence.  "Be careful" sometimes means "don't disagree, rock the boat, or Heaven forbid, speak the truth".  Cowards don't like it when you do that.

   Start your own thread to show your research and I will leave yours alone."
   
   This was my threat. So why didn't he leave the thread, and start his own? And why were he and LL not banned for personal attacks, if personal attacks are against the rules? Because no one reported them? So what! They still did it, and the adm would have to see it when they investigated the reports on me.
   
   They were not engaging in "constructive diaogue", it was personal insults.
   So how come they are still here?
   
   You just don't get it. It's not about engaging in dialogue-- it's about shutting people up!

      To me, threats are a step past insults. I have no idea the actual reason, though. My best advice is to always argue the point, and never argue the person.
