I just wanted to let everyone know that I have heard from Hokey. He is okay and he didn't mean to scare anyone. The entire incident has been misconstrued greatly.

If something is being misconscrewed-- or strewed, it's good that it is only slightly rather than greatly. Everyone needs to take a step back now and then.

Sadly, because of a certain hubber's rude comments to him on FB, he will not be returning to HubPages. Instead, he will be moving on to another site, although he does not want to stop talking to any of us. He provided his FB information on another thread and he is still accepting all emails.

  She said she wanted to spit on Hokey's brother's grave. It was a lot more detailed than that, but it wasn't the typical rude comment. It was very insulting and it came from someone Hokey had grown close to.
  
  It wasn't right, but Hokey is being the bigger person here. I won't be following her anymore, but I don't want to ruin her reputation either. She needs support just as much as Hokey did. I'd hate to see two hubbers leave.

  you know what is funny about tantrum?
  
  she says i hate her when in actuality, i avoid her like the plague that she is.
  
  i came in this thread to express my feelings and thoughts about Hokey and as you can see, SHE is the one who pounced on me. i wasn't even talking to her. in fact, i NEVER talk to tantrum. i don't waste time hating anyone, least of all her. when you actively hate someone, you have to think about them. i never think about tantrum or try to decipher what is in her head. in fact, when someone asked to name some good Hubpages poets, i recommended tantrum's work and called her work stunning. duh, if i hated tantrum would i do that? no....the fact is i have no feelings for her at all. but that doesn't mean i am going to sit quietly and let her attack me.
  
  she, as illustrated in this thread, not only seeks the first opportuntity to jump on me and slander me, she feels a need to tell people who don't know me from Adam, like Pani, to ignore me, which i don't appreciate. apparently she is used to telling people what to do, who to hate, etc.
  
  that is twisted, i have to say.
  
  when she hurts people and others call her on it, she says none of this is real, all of Hubpages is a game haha it's all so funny, but when it happens to a friend of hers, it's all soooo serious and soooo hurtful.

  I'm not ignoring you, nor do I hate you. Other people do not control my feelings, emotions, or thoughts. When have I ever openly ignored you? I respond to your comments when I feel that I have something to add, just as I do with everyone else.
  
  Where have I ignored you? If you'll notice in a certain Jack and Jill thread, I replied to one of your comments. If I have ignored you here, that is simply because I had nothing more to add to the conversation. If I have ignored you in another thread, perhaps that is because I am not paying attention to that thread at this given time. If it is through email, that is because I rarely check my email.
  
  Please do not make assumptions about me. I am a free-thinking person. I am perfectly capable of forming my own opinions and thoughts, thank you very much.

  Tantrum never told me to ignore you. This post is about Hokey, by the way, which is why his name is the title and I am providing updates about the situation the best way I know how without putting another hubber's reputation in danger.
  
  Now please excuse me for saying this, as I have the utmost respect for both you and tantrum, but by having a silly argument about nothing in a thread that is not about either of you, you are making complete fools of yourselves.
  
  That being said, I am finished responding to this conversation.

Deep respect my friend, deep respect for your decision.
By the way, this problem will be gone soon anyway.

  I agree Hokey is owed an apology, but apologies mean more when the person comes to realize their mistake on their own and aren't forced into making one. Also, after what the hubber said, I would completely understand if an apology was not accepted. Her email to Hokey was extremely cruel.

I'm so sorry that Hokey has been hurt. I like him very much, he's so deep! Some of the things he said caused me to think...a lot. It actually made me cry, but I cried because his words were true and I realized something important. This has been within the last 10 days. And I would say this too:
If the situation were different and if I wasn't married, I'd be knocking on his door.....his traits are worth holding onto. You don't find it in everyone. Someone who has lived and loved with all his heart, Hokey (Larry) deserves the best. He will overcome, he will heal.....

look the bottom line is whoever said the messed up crap to hokey is wrong and it is between him and that person so to have all this drama and bs in a thread that is meant to simply let us know he is ok was just uncalled for ... we all have our opinions but this is just crazy.

all of us here are a family in some way shape or form and we all support each other even when we don't particularly like the person we are supporting but we do it because these people do it for us.

the forums always have some kind of drama and whatnot and always will im sure but this is the second time today i have seen arguments to this level and i just don't see the point.

can we just let him do his thing and if he decides to come back then he knows we are all here waiting for him. we all love him with our own right just as we do the others who have come and gone or in my case just gone since i haven't been here long enough for someone to come and go but at any rate let's just let it go and let hokey know we love him dearly and miss him cuz i know i sure do. he always made me smile without even trying and without ever knowing anything was wrong.

this is prolly gonna kill my stats here but i have to say it and im sorry if it changes the way you all think about me but these arguments are really stressing me out and making me not want to be in the forums anymore. its just not fun like it was 6 weeks ago.

i hope you all find some kind of peace in your situations with others and hokey if you are reading this i am sorry that this horrible thing happened to you...thank you for all the laughs and love.

I agree with you, pinkylee. I think the desire to find out who it is stems from feeling insecure now, like who can we trust when we know there is this awful soul out there capable of such cruel and biting words. I think people want to feel safe. That, more than anything, is the impetus for the desire to discover the identity of this hubber.

I ceased being amazed at the things people say long ago. Of course, it still engenders pity for the speaker. Only someone with a very sad life spews such venom. And I am very familiar with venom.

Being that I don't know who left a comment that hurt Hokey so badly (and don't care-it's none of my business) I am sad to see Hokey leave, he brightened up many threads, and has a great way of viewing things. He will be missed-and hope he finds his way back to HP someday soon.best of luck Hokey!

Hey Hokey.
Not really sure what is up, but I can pretty much figure it out from the thread. I'm sorry this happened to you and at such a bad time.

I have enjoyed reading your forum posts here and wish you could stay, but I would probably do the same thing. It would be very hard to go back to normal after that. Whatever you do, take care.
