    Look through posted topics and you will find certain "people" who relish attacking the author rather than there posted topic.We all know who the are.what do you think of these people who knowingly drive beginners away from writing?

      you can't fight fire with fire, if I see a personal attack, I report it, if it's someone being immature and showing off, I ignore their remark and answer the posters question or comment.
      it's really pathetic some of the people who get their kicks running through the forums being stupid and arrogant.

      You do what you believe is right don't let anyone turn you around. The religious forum is not a good cross-section of the hub pages, it usually represents the extremes. It does get mean spirited but religion sparks alot of emotion. There are those who attack any Christian for any reason just address the friendlies and don't reply to the antagonists. You'll never stop the arguing so if it is a big problem stay away from getting sucked in.smile

        Yes, we should just ignore the ones that mock or attack, but reply to those that criticize constructively. But generally, many are kind.... very kind even...

      I believe that all of the writers who post topics on the forums regardless if they are positive or negative should always be prepared. There are also some who enjoy stirring the pot and when they do this unless they are diplomatic it can turn into a boxing ring. I don't believe anyone intentionally tries to push a new writer away, I also agree with everyone else write a hub about it I am certain that many will read it and respond. It is hard for someone like yourself to even discuss this topic when you have not written anything. smile

    Have you ever noticed the poor quality of comments are often equal to poor quality of grammer? hmm

      I've also seen this Odd style of writing apply to those who put spaces prior to (and after) a comma or a period or a question mark.  No real comment is made and the mis-punctuation is a little distracting.  Take away the absurd punctuation errors, the messages are nasty and just cruel.  Just something I've noticed, that's all.

    Unfortunately any public Internet forum is consistently awash with people who love to nit-pick and flame with personal attacks. What annoys me more is when people link grammar to intelligence, spelling to IQ, and the like.

    When posting in forums I never really spellcheck or proofread what I have written.  Personally I do not have time to do that for everything which I write, and would much rather spend time going through work which I am paid for.

    If my writing is legible to the majority of readers on a forum then I deem it acceptable.

    If people feel the need to personally attack either a person or their work with no provocation, then they really do lead sad lives.  I tend to try and engage the abuser in the actual discussion, it is amazing how quickly they disappear, or end up repeating their baseless insults.

    In addition, just because someone isn't pumping out 86,000 hubs a day because of their proficiency in cutting and pasting articles off the internet isn't at the same level of those who do, does not mean their thoughts should be thrown to the side. I could pump out a ton a hubs a day as well IF I wanted to cut and paste articles.  If this is your style FINE, I don't care one way or the other and I'm not criticizing those who do.  So, please don't criticize others for putting thought into what they write and the originality of those hubs.  Just don't go there, we all have our own styles and we should be applauding one another, not pushing each other down.   I choose to write original life experience of life in rural America while adding a comedic twist....that's just my style.  I also know people here who have joined HubPages for the sole purpose of participating in the forums but have no hubs at all, and probably never will.  Who cares?  They still have valid points.  They shouldn't be criticized or called less than a person because they aren't a top writer here.  So, for someone to say "Gee , 7 mos , and no hubs ? ! !" (note the blatant punctuation errors) what does that matter?  I don't get it. 

    One last thought, I have ALWAYS found it true in myself and others that we criticize in others that for which we do not like about ourselves OR those whom we perceive to be better than us.  Work on yourself and stop attacking others.  Think about it.

    There is just a sense about these things as far as what is appropriate and what is not.  Sometimes those who 'stir' are kind of funny and invite valid conversation - and oddly (or not) nobody complains about them, as it is sensed it is all in fun.

    However, there has been a great influx (I've noticed) over the past few months of people just being nasty, calling people names and ridiculing.

    And yes, of course it is completely psychological - those who feel the need to do this are projecting (psych 101) their fears and weaknesses onto others.  In some way, it 'relieves' them...without having to acknowledge their feelings.  I am the type who really cannot abide this sort of stuff - feel like there is enough of it in the world already.

      Yes.  And the funny thing is that Hubpage management does not acknowledge the difference between those who bully and are nasty--and those who have a tendency to defend or stand up against them, in defense of themselves or others (instead of just ignoring).  Unfortunately, wink, for me also, haha, I have always been the latter.  And don't think it will change.

      I realize it is just a forum, yeah, yeah, but the written word carries weight and therefore power and influence...anyone writing I think believes this.

        The really funny thing is that the former so often want people (mostly themselves) to think they are the latter when the contrary is so obvious.

          Yes, Tk.  That would be you (so obvious you'd know) I reference.  And I have never bullied you or followed you.  Or called you any dirty name.  In fact, I was decent to you when you first came here...until it was obvious what you were. 

          But some (and I'm not sorry to acknowledge it...let them ban me for it...I do not care) have no sense of what is appropriate socially or otherwise - in fact, they live to be nasty and to be as dirty and obstructive as they can.  That is commonly known as sociopathic behavior.  And it can be done through actions as well as simple words, gaming the system.

          In reality, I have very little interest in you at all.  You are boring to me, as I don't find anything that you say of interest or carrying a lick of intelligence (sorry, just my personal opinion).  I'd just prefer you leave me alone or that they ban you forever, as you are an annoyance.  And it has nothing to do with any perceived differences in opinion on politics or otherwise.

    Because, in today's society, almost everyone is defensive when it comes to two topics "religion" and "politics".

    Unfortunately, these two topics can be really annoying, because people have a tendency to over-read-into-things, and make out what they detest most.

    One person might find an insult funny, some wouldn't. It's relative to your attitude at the time you talk about it.

    Religion is the who says what, what was said, and when it was said and if indeed any of it is factual inside reality. Which it is not.

    Politics is perception. How the public perceives Government officials. What kind opinion the majority carries, because that's all politicians are interested in.

    Politicians don't care about the people- they are greedy and out for themselves. Sure, some put on a great act, but the problem is the public buys the act, lock-stock and barrel.

    And, it's killing society.

    And, so is religion, it's killing society, because people refuse to accept FULL responsibility for their own life. And, that's the most obvious thing I conclude.

    Some hubbers actually start their own forum topics about whether or not they should remain.  So when a hubber starts a forum like that, as selfish as it is, what of them?  Do they not deserve a necessary reality check? 

    Some hubbers like personal attacks.  Some hubbers like dishing out personal attacks.  It is the nature of the beast.  However, what I find to be the most ironic characteristic of many hubpage hubbers, is the absence of the necessary, assertive self-esteem to debate.  Most insecure debaters, use aggressive behavior to hide behind, due to their own lack of self-worth and educational-acquired intelligence.

    It is what it is.

    I think some people just like to get others going. I know a few here that seem to post only for that purpose. I've fallen for such posts in the past but I believe I have learned to take them less serious and recognize them for what they are ... a chance for someone to stir the pot and see what falls out.

    The best way to stop such play .. ignore their effort and post on another thread ... which is why I almost didn't add to this thread, but I wanted to remind everyone out there that they were being led by the nose and needed to consider being their own house and not allowing another to steer them for their own amusement. smile

    I just came from the "love your Hubs" thread to see what's here.  It was mentioned on that thread.  Looks to me like everyone has said whatever I may have said (do like debating, don't think attacking is part of debating, etc.)  smile
