no, Operation Banned, Banned, Banned, again?
76March 5, 2012 dooms day
This is an update on my banning lessons as intended.
February @9 I was banned for opening this thread, My OP was deleted yet the scandalous thread remains open. It was called the nothing thread for some fun to blow off some silly steam, which was 3 days running prior to the ban. I violated TOS regulations for not having a specific subject. OK my fault. What bothers me is I was banned 3 days later at the exact same moment I opened another thread for an amazing hub re; banning and lessons by cagsil. There are no coincidences.

Today March 5, 2012
I just came off my ban and within 5 minutes posting in a brilliant thread by website have been banned another 7 days-within 5 or 10 minutes of me posting. The thread was to self promote your eBooks. I posted a photo and where they could be found. That post is gone. It may very well be I misunderstood and my apologies go out to website as it was a smart and thoughtful thread; http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/94123I really am confused and am not writing hubpages as they have not once in 34 months responded to me.
Solution? I enjoy what I do-writing. Having spoken to some large advertisers I have worked with I asked for their honest opinion of the site. They agreed though not sure what it once was it is now a dictated social site in transition. I don't see the bad if this is their direction, but sad it has changed so quickly. I shall go about writing the odd non-commerccial hub and pour my efforts into lucrative writing, enjoying the process, this is so key for me.
I will not be returning to the forums, and surely unnoticed.
side note; it's hard not to get your knickers in a knot, whew not wearing any!
A tiny forum for any size ban
Just don't say I'm whining YET! When it is apparent I am, OK?
It's my 45th Birthday today [was?] on October 2nd at midnight. My HP Birthday card, an hour early, read the following;
Sorry, you are not allowed to post
You were banned for posts that you made in the topic CAGSIL will you marry me?.
Your posting privileges will be reinstated in about 7 days.
sadly it was a 5x recycled card for me. LOL!
revised
October 10th and daily for banning activities.
October 23 to respond
November 27 Cagsil banned for 7 days stay tuned but mostly just support him the details are irrelevant!
Hey, have no clue
but also know the team has not banned me numerous times for nothing. All but one were justified and I personally attacked another Hubber.
This one is unjustified, and rarely do I waste the energy flagging such trivial things when I know without doubt I hurt no one or broke one rule.
The thread; Cagsil, will you marry me? Brought me back to some wonderful times when threads were ridiculous and full of laughter and my good friend Cagsil, who is always a good sport. I opened this particular thread 4 days ago under the gender and relationship category for obvious reasons of humour.
I just went to post in this fun ongoing harmless thread, 11pm a specifically page 17 when the above humerous scooter appreared advising me I could not post, banned for this thread and would review in 7 days.
Look,
I spent the bulk of my time with friends a year ago causing mayhem in the forums to blow off steam. I have not been posting hardly at all much in 6 months as I in my own personal opinion find them to be serious and I need to be ridiculous.
Ridiculous without harm, but also with the understanding I will be judged, gossiped about and yes banned at times. These are acceptable consequences for me because the people that really know me know I am not malicious. Mischievous and full of persona's but never malicious.
Persona's or other accounts-keep them clear of posting, it is breaking the rules and most likely that persona will be banned permanently. Trust me one of mine is. I posted not even thinking I was signed in as someone other than my main account and went to the forums after writing.
I wasn't thinking and it is easy to do, just put a sticky note on your screen LOL! Can only be a mistake if you obviously have more than one account. I juggle 5 and don't recommend it as it is hard to keep up good quality hubs when you spread yourself that thin.

I am not a writer
yet have always considered myself a messenger of sorts. Don't mistake me I am more than proud, with no education whatsoever, to be able and given the chances I have to help or touch someone else. Maybe they are two of the same, but for me, today, irrelevant.
The reason I bring out this point from left field on a Hub about Banning I hope will be multi useful.
- First if you do not know me or are new to the site, slowly enter the Forums if you would like to feel out the Community. I suggest you read a ton before dancing and leave the arguments for your spouses LOL This is VIRTUAL! I promise to some degree on every kind of level, nothing is as it seems.
- Secondly, just have fun, to the degree that means for you. Let no one dictate or define you by a thread or opinion. Should they do so, may they have fulfilling dinner conversations that evening.
- Thirdly, Watch posters consistency, sincerity [best you can], don't get involved in other tennis matches, dress accordingly and don't be an ass. ugh
- There is actually a huge amount to learn in the forums and smart Hubbers with good advice.
- Read the Forum guidelines, don't attack people and you can really enjoy meeting other Hubbers in the Forums.
- Most know, but to avoid controversy stay out of politics and religious forums
- only open a thread if you are clear it has not been posted before
- have fun!
So What Now?
Well, for me like I said I have always accepted the bans because they were justified. A mistake has occurred this time. Why bother? It affects my account, my traffic, my reputation, my time like now writing about it. Also writing letters to the team which I will start as soon as I am done here.
One thing about the team is they will respond [usually really late] but can't unless you let them know you have a concern or problem. Remember most of the moderating is computer driven, there is no way the Team could read every post that is flagged.
Now if someone flagged me a number of times, in my opinion it's maliscious given no one was attacked. This can happen and the Team may not be aware.
So my long winded point is, say something directly to the Team, or don't fuss about it.
great hubber hubs

do you think banning warrants an automatic explanation as well once advised?
See results without votingThe Process now
Day 1-Oct 2nd, wrote a hub about banning and next a letter to team expressing my confusion regarding ban
- Reading Cardisa's thread I think I have my answer, although I still have to confirm. Someone jokingly posted in another thread my avatar with the elite e on it and I posted it in the above thread. I believe it says violation of TOS guidelines. I may have had too much fun once again! We'll find out.
- Nope was the photo but waiting to hear from team.
Day2- yes Monday - ok kinda late. Day 2 of my 7 day ban. Today I was able to get a letter off to the team and took the initiative to write 100 times
I WILL NOT POST GROSS PICTURES OF NAKED COUPLES WORKING OUT AGAIN.
again 100X Hoping this will help though I suspect I am not on a top priority 'fix it' list
I slept all day, literally and worked on as many comments as I could, then re read this hub which makes me feel less of an outcast, as we all know how much I hate attention hmmmmm
Okay so I peaked in the threads and love you for keeping the support in my banning thread.
I saw a brilliant thread by sligobay and only he could think of something like this. Let's support such a great concept-I will as soon as I'm released on good behavior??????
namely;
Hot old hubs and hot seasoned writers
awesome sligobay, awesome
Now off to bed and tomorrow lots of writing to do? rather play for the day
Day 3-yes Tuesday my time is 1:35pm and I just woke up therefore have nothing to report for day 3 yet, but the day is young, and I am not, brb
ALERT just read a brilliant comment and think it's a valid loop hole check it out; blake4d. I am well...Tell em Canada doesn't recognize their forum as a sovereign entity. Keep on Hubbing. Blake4d
- luck would have it another kidney stone has returned with the pain of being banned, but of course that couldn't be enough mckbirdsbks had to put me in stitches stating to me in my fragile state, if slogan: "Better banned than stoned" I plead the 5th
- responded to some comments then made some of my own
- had another nap
- OK I went to the forums for a few reasons and was really touched to see the support thread on my banning was still alive. Almost like I am there. Then I see bbnix proposal thread and cardisa beats me to the punch with Luis. Double wedding would be cool but I am married now, we just can't see each other LOL!
- of course tried to post with no luck but got an update I have 4 remaining days on my ban
- lastly my score dropped from 96 to 93 overnight and I was stripped of my 11th accolade for helping people in the forums
- awaiting response from team
Day4- Wed-clearly not happy as I know am sporting a major chest cold with new kidney stones, thank fully lord de cross had a remedy which has been the only thing that has given me relief thus far, well that and my ban obviously. Hospital most of day.
Day5- Thu-so far published 2 hubs not pleased with and my score has now gone from 96 to 90 since the banand this hubs score has dropped 2 or 3 points overnight. Guess ya gotta role with the punches.
October 23-still awaiting answer from Team if banning reason was correct as I guessed.
Not having a pleasing time, let's leave it there.
Please accept my apologies as there was a glitch in the comment box. Your comments mean everything to me. I am sure it will be up and running again within the next upcoming days

Happy Birthday girl, keep chin up, 7 days is nothing, means we just get more of your great hubs!
Happy Birthday Kimberly! :) Very nice rant(Hub) about banning. The thread was fun while it lasted and hopefully you get some answer from staff about your ban. :)
Ridiculous and mischievous, that's our Kimberly-girl!
Happy 45th! Life just gets better!
Being AEVans brother and new...,barely six months and counting; all I can say is: You go Kim! HB is not the same without you. Do you think Simone and the rest don't have fun reading your updates on the forums? Most likely was a glitch in this algorithm of flagging... take a BREAK and we will wait FOR YOU with our open arms.
LORD
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!
Happy birthday Kimberly. A hub about banning in forums is very useful to people who want to spend a lot of time in the forums.
Hang In There! :-)
Hope you have a great birthday anyway, even if the celebration party balloons got popped by the management :)
Hey Sis, there have been quite a few speculation about the ban. The last one, Cagsil stated that you posted a nude photo of two people exercising or something.....
Happy Birthday, whats with the nude on the exercise bike? No one got a sense of humour?. I must be naive but I thought that if HP banned you from the forums they would explain why, its common courtesy surely?
Banned huh? Some of us have been permanently banned, you asked cagsil to marry you? Never asked me.
Tex
what am I missing here-that photo can't be a problem or we all have a problem
Happy Birthday, young lady.
Happy birthday you bad girl :D I find in my frequent bannings that it is a time of peace and getting other things done. See you back soon.
Happy Birthday Kim, sorry to hear your banned. However now I know why you wanted to marry Cags. To see how often you could get banned together. LoL You go gurl, keep writing, keep speaking your mind and let the fur fly once in awhile, your voice is heard by many and I respect your talent as a creative writer and designer of words. Hugs now go have a nice slice of your favorite cake....
Yeah! Sister said: "she said..she warned you on the fan mail? Well brother, if she means it..lololol she means it! She loves and backs his bro' like a tigress..grr!
LORD
after all...we are humans, and being from up north gives you that need to "forum" them all up, down inside and out, right? Check our hub: 380 yrs later, you will love it. For being FUNNY? THEN WHY THEY DIDN'T BAN ME AT ALL!
LORD
LoL to funny, I'm busting a gut here..
Happy Birthday, Of course! Yes, Buck got "permanently" banned again. LOL! It's almost a badge of honor to be banned by some of the Mods these days.
It lets one know they still have self respect here by not giving in totally to some of HP's silly moderators.
Randy
Happy Birthday....it was a fun thread - banned by mistake.....see ya in a few days
Dang, I always go into the forums and post funny stuff. They havn't banned me yet... Kind of scary....Just like work, cant mess around anymore...lol Gees everyone takes things to seriously anymore.
KIM, kim,
NUGHTY NAUGHTY GIRL, I guess you deserve a spanking...
you have six accounts?
Have I met any of the other Kims?
was I nice did I openly profess my undieing devotion to you to them as well...???
Harvey isnt one of your other yous?Naw couldnt be....hmmm are you my fan more than once?
interesting I can barely keep up with the real me but six yous...
as for the Ban- starts with an animal with horns yymes with pull and ends with another word that rhymes with spit... I have reported people for being a$$e$ to me and saying things about my dauhter....as for the naked pictures- naughty naughty...i bet if the people were hot no one woud have said -Boo
Hang in there kim,
I wish there was somthing i could do
TH
Maybe An Huppage Administrator Has A Crush On You Kim And Is Jealous???
Happy birthday Kimberley - mine's this month too. I will be three years older than you. I had a little knowing snigger when I read "...to avoid controversy stay out of politics and religious forums..."
I actually made a jestful remark regarding this on my first intentional tongue-in-cheek hub called "Alien visiting Earth? How to make a good impression!"
They are by far the most flame-warred forums. I have to admit I had to hold my tongue in one of these forums too. Anyway I decided to drop in on one of my hubber friends, see how you are and give you a social "thumbs up".
Good Luck and give the "thumbs up" to Bbnix too.
WHAT A BIRTHDAY PRESENT! SHEESH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANYWAY.
Happy birthday Kimberly... It's party time!!!!
Happy Birthday, Kim! We all know you are the best!
Am I allowed to open a thread here and are there perimeters as to TOS Hub Thread posting rules? Anyone know?
Is wierd, But all these comments are related to a joke...seriously! Am I wrong?
Kimberly, I am delighted to wish you a happy birthday - late, but sincere. I personally count birthdays a good opportunity to reflect and consider in what direction we are moving . . . I mean, because our material bodies are manifestly ordained to mature, it strikes me that each one year memorial we keep to mark our body's advance is a good scheduled to reminder to keep us (the eternal 'us' that resides within this mortal frame) attentive to our own advance, or the neglect thereof. The 'happy' in my 'happy birthday' is hoping you know yourself a bit better, know your neighbors a bit better, and know God a bit better than you did last year.
. . . and may I say - I wish these profile photos were a bit bigger . . . you look too pretty to be confined in such a tiny display.
Sorry to hear it KG. I can still see all your stuff, how are you banned? I am not sure I understand...hope you are well. Keep on hubbing. Blake4d
blake-she was banned from the forums. Not her hubs.
Happy 45Th Kimberly! Classy hub on the banning situation.
oh ok. ;-(
Kim, I am so glad to wish you the very best on your birthday!! It elates me to know that you are a libran just like me and you know that we are proud librans!!
As for the ban, well we know that we have to take so many things in our stride when on hubpages and hence we arnt crying over it!!
All the best once more and Cheers!!
I had to revisit and commend Kimberly for such an upbeat hub given the circumstances. You Kimberly are always an inspiration in everything you do. You take so much of other's failings and shortcomings upon yourself, and still carry on with helping even more people with your writing and actions. Just remember to stop and smell the white roses. They are special made just for you.
Oh, and I know I don't say this enough...you are a fantastic WRITER!!! One of the best...
Much love, my dear, dear friend....
I am well...Tell em Canada doesn't recognize their forum as a sovereign entity. Keep on Hubbing. Blake4d
kim-catwoman
fight the power!!
ooops i mean- show any sliver of displeasure you may have in a constructive and non-threatening way that will indicate your displeasure accordingly in a safe non-confrontational manner... I could say more but I shall conceed... to your wishes.!!
TH
Happy Birthday....have many more.
Day three and counting? Is there a way to bail you out Kimberly? probably donate 20 cents-- each of us to adsense?
LORD
Kim,
look what the banning did for "TwoLive Crew" they used the banned status to become MORE popular- once the Ban got old they disappeared. As for the kidney stones...
I am sure you know this but i found this website incase http://www.kidneyfund.org/kidney-health/kidney-pro
i know when i was in the hospital- some of the medicincal soups of drugs made a few stones but they used the sonic blast to bust them up...it was weird n cool-it didnt hurt....
TH
I feel so bad for ya sweetie i hope these things can stop bugging ya
you could look up ansuz on google- it might help as well...
Kim Stoned?
NAH!!!!
We're still waiting for you girl. Don't think we have forgotten about you, that would be impossible. We'll keep checking in, OK?
BB
hehehe. Hope you get through this problem Kim. Physically you are down, but mentally..i better run for my life! My prayers go out to you(seriously)
LORD
http://www.nomorekidneystone.com/
Hope this help you, before you go to the hospital, don't think we forgot you Kimberly. Hang in there Gurl!
day three! time sure goes by fast when you are surrounded by 942 of your closest English speaking friends
You rOCK!
You are definitley your own person and have many stories to tell.You hold nothing back.Happy Birthday and may your days after be filled with endless excitement.
Happy Birthday - I don't see the reasoning behind the banning,I think it could make people hesitant to post or try to communicate anything on here.
I guess some people take things to seriously
God Bless
Manthy
Kimberly, still stoned?
Kim,
I hope your feelin better-I hope this whole "Two live crew banned in the USA" experience is not too hard on you - its pretty much BS compared to ome of the other jackholes have said to me on hbbs-people have no sense of humor and will just look for asome little thing to make themselves feel more important or powerful
hang in there dont let "ThEmAn" get you down
TH
Kimberly, the Hubpages need you much more than you need them, but for the rest of us, keep coming around in spite of what they do to you as the hubs are downright boring as hell without you....
KL,yea what BB said.. andf-ing double from me //
yea right on brother BB...right on....
TH
Well let me offer a belated birthday greeting and say I will be glad to see you back.
I think my last ban (6 days) was also related to group flagging, guess it at least shows you are making your point to them and they don't like it.
I only flag spammers and really offensive stuff, so I feel sorry for sad cases that would use it tactically.
Hope to see you back soon enough, my ban never affected me, I was travelling all week anyway!
Hasta la vista.
john
The Hubpages should just hire Kimberly, listen to her, and then, be amazed, given the depth of her character and her creative and producer skillsets. .... the hubs would not only be more amazing and fun, but grow tremendously having become so ... everybody wins....
OH Kimberly, You are so open and honest..... I suppose that is a bad thing in this brave new world of ours.
We all have to be careful what we say. YUK! What happened to freedom of speech.??
Love you,and all your excellent work.
Welcome back!! Hope you are not mad at some people!
LORD
My Dear Kimberly Ma'am! HAPPY BELATED B'DAY. Sorry for wishing you so late. Hope you are doing fine. I don't know what was the actual reason behind banning YOU but remember one thing that WE all LOVE YOU & YOUR HUBS that is what matters at the end. KEEP ROCKING.:)
With lots of LOVE & RESPECT
from SHANAYA:)
Hello. Glad to see that you are back and full of energy. Comment here, comment there. A new Hub full of your special magical ink. You survived the ban, the band, the groans, the stones. Droves of people arrived to check on you, and lament your absence.
Oh, good morning.
Candance Kant's Zane Grey's Arizona. An interesting biography. (to me) Then next up, The Ground Truth, by John Farmer, it's going to explain to me why building seven fell down without a plane hitting it.
I spoke to Hub Lord and there is an investigation regarding why 92 worthy Hubs are being scored 86. They are on it.
I don't know why you are reading TOS rules, clearly there is someone reading them, scouring the fine print. Driving around in a little hub truck, handing out violation tickets.
Now, if you started a "love gossip" Hub the comments section would overpower the forums and you would have it ALL. :)
That should be good for a hub point.
KL,
HELLO!
Hey not to pry but...is that you andwho is the lucky person who are you kissin if thats you but-If its too personal-i understand...
TH
Two beautiful babies I must say in that avatar...what a gift you both are to the world...thanks for sharing
Kiim,
i'll respond via email
TH
Oh sure, Tom's got all the compassion and adoration, and I must have a wart on my nose....
Too bad you had to take that picture down, Kimberly, a stunningly beautiful moment, as well as mother and daughter, and we're very much privileged and our lives forever better for you having shared it with us...thank you so much....
bb,
trust me its not like that....trust me not even close-
no glory here
th
I swear I put the Hub point in the mail. Expect it any day.
darn stamps. contact Hub Lord, I authorize 7 hubpoints taken from my 'score' and given to you. signed mckbirdbks
Who is Lord?
Why would what you did in the forums constitute a ban, I wonder? If the photo didn't show anything gratuitous, then whatever. I often wonder what the unofficial PG rating is for Hub Pages? Is it PG13 I wonder? Being banned at the time of your birthday kind of sucks. Don't let it get to you, Kim. You are better than that.
I just wish I could have seen that darn photo! LOL! Great hub! :)
Hello young lady. Where are the hoards? Where are the Lords? Must be tangled in their cords. Or otherwise, well they'd be here.
Perhaps there aren't enough Dudes, or Rocks, or Pebbles. Perhaps you are back burning up the wires on the forums.
Because the invitations were clear. They should be here.
YEAH HI..! lol!mck birdbks..that's funny and can cause a laugh!..back to my writings..have a nice one...! cHEEKY i SAW THE PIC
LORD
"email me some prompts that will fly!!!!!!!!!!!!", in English what is the request?
You finished one photo. You finished one prose. You just have Creative Writing to put together? November contest 1-22nd. Let's think what is on everyones mind in November? no the other thing.
Kimberly says:
"I so agree but enough about them i've finished 1 photo and 1 prose for competition so start pecking and email me some prompts that will fly!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Arg
That's. My lumberjack sound fui"
.
Uhhh.,,,..that sounded more like being bopped with coconuts..
Hmmmm, interesting noises and pleas from the oh so special Kimberly...
I wonder how it could be that she wouldn't completely destroy any and all competition..
I'm starting to think, perhaps, that this whole competition thing should be stepped up a notch, a personal challenge if you will...
I'm not cocky or anything, but I am used to my taillights being all that's seen through "the dust, the blood and the beer"
This bird? Here. Letting you create for the creative writing contest. It is good of the Hub to let the rest of us compete, as if we had a chance. But that depends on the fire you are stirring with that pen of yours. The buzz is increasing, many are waiting to hit the publish button.
kim,
if no ones chattin you could read your e-mail- *teehee*
If not - then- u guess we could talk a bout .. the weather on lake Erie...????
or talk about...ghost- its Halloween-
your choice
TH
Okay, I have been thinking about it, and I was gonna bow out of the whole HubPatron of the arts contest. But here is what I have decided to do. Since everybody seems so up to it. And I have gotten some odd incentive that was unexpected from Google this week.
ANYWAY....
I am planning to enter five hubs a day, maybe 5 poetry, maybe 5 photo, maybe a mix...but I will be entering five a day all 22 days or worse. I don't care how long they are or whatever just follow all the rules and on top of it, I am gonna try to have some that are about the day in question each day, but I wont dare you guys to that.
So if you guys are up to it.'
That is 5 HUBS A DAY FOR 22 DAYS = 110 ( But since 11/11/11 is this month I will even promise one more. )
110 HUBS IN 22 DAYS + ONE
THE BLAKE4D HUB CHALLENGE
111 HUBS IN 22 DAYS
Kim Blake 22 hubs 5 days you have my respect I think I have been putting toether 1 hub for the past 22 days n im still not done- good luck ya'lll
TH
Come on people... We all know we pale in comparison to Kimberly's abilities, not to mention just how competitive and full of life she is, but have a little freakin' respect for her being in recovery from over 30 days of brutal pain and illness....
To be honest, this challenge seems cold, brutally unfair, and completely disregards what she went through...pain that none of us could imagine...for over 30 days and she's still recovering from it...hello!!! where is your compassion...? Where was anyone when the hub pages team has brutally banned her for nothing, played her scores like a yo-yo when she was too damned sick to fight them, let alone understand it all..
Will anyone stop f**king with this lady and just tell her how wonderful she is, without wanting a damn thing from her but her happiness...
Kimberly do you what do and do what you can do....let everyone go to hell if you feel stressed or pushed too hard to find the time...you have a beautiful life ahead of you full of goals, planned projects, a purpose to help others...have fun, but beware challenges by others that may not have all your best interests at heart...
Kimberly, we who truly know you, know you can take on any challenge, even this one, and own it, and destroy any and all competition, just know you don't have to prove anything to us who know and care about you...
I'm guessing you could hold out for 5 minutes..
Ok...I'm game...a Kimberly recipe, I'll take my "banove" to go... How do I start....Do I say fluck and post a picture of it....?
You do...I do ..... Ms. Lyrics...
Oh and ...yeah...nice try....Kimberly, you will never be ordinary...bring it on....
Ok...we're on.....I'm here...my bus token is in one hand a camera in the other....What's it going to be....
How about the life and death battle for a woman's heart, a fight to the death for a kiss, a forum about the bull fighter..,.naked physical lust in the arena, encircled by it...brutality and sensuality all at once...pictures too....
um color me confused...
You are an inspirational writer, a wonderful, strong human being..... banned for being too funny??????? p.l.e.a.s.e.....!!!!!!!!
No. Legions of followers are here. They are just reading about photography.
OK I see me n birds and bb sometimes Stelman are not good enough for you huh?... well i for one would like to think we are more than just fans of yours i thought we were your freinds....-OR are we just little internet crumb people ... are we ? We come by everyday and comment compliment and support you in good and bad times why because we all love and or admire you in different ways and capacities. the fact that you are a great writer and a greater person- you have been through too much to base any shred of your self worth on the musings comments and arbitrary ratings, scoring/punitive actions of themafia-like hubpages cartel overlords...
your honest pal,
TH
Huh?
They don't know what they are missing.
Brake lights here? A little chilled, like deep freeze...I can see my breath..must be Canada....
But then again there is a a long flowing, white dressed princess here who very nicely lights this cold place up....
What a gift to see you as I come up on this cold place..lighting my way...making everything Ok...making my day...thank you Kimberly for that..
Good afternoon young lady. Have you raced to the end of the contest finish line. Thanks for sharing that puppy with us.
Got it, thank you. ha pup likes the company
KL,
You have a puppy?
TH
KL,
ack 7 am...
I gotta go get to see this other hub...
TH
I'm always looking behind my monitor for the other people....that's not normal?
BB how much room is there behind your monitor maybe put it against the wall?
BB,
o you see them often,do others see them?do the people in the cornertalk to you ??
TH
KL,
No pie-only choices were pumpkin N Apple-so I passed on pie:(
homey don't play pumpkin...
TH
I miss pie...
And yes, people in the corner talk to me..thanks for asking...
I never know why
Pie once fell from the sky
But I never see it anymore
Apparently I'm idiotic
and now quite lost without it
As I said the wrong thing
Now I have lost my only set of wings
I'm lost and adrift at sea
I fear no one cares about me
And only get the coldest of stares
Is there no one with a little love and care
Is that they way it is
To have fun no matter as how
It's ok to smear
To greet with a sneer
And those with a heart can go to hell..
I can't believe that it's true
But what can I do
I only have eyes for you...
Ah...but sometimes..no matter how destructive it may be..it's worth it in the end.....cause how could there be life without pie,.....we hate it and we love it at the very same time...but life would be quite dull without it......kind of like ..perhaps...bbnix...but, with bb, he can learn, improve, be the better man, and ultimately, destructive behavior would simply be a long lost notion once feared. but forever gone...
Sigh is a start...and it's true from the heart..that Kimberly'll never ever quite die...that is except for that one time she fluffed..which I saw with a start ...and in public, dear heart we all fell and laughed with Kimberly for hours.....then the hub team'll ban her once again for no good reason, but sin, so what the hell of all anyways...
No frog...tell him it was raining bbs...and that the world was now a better place for it...as bb's finally been grounded ..... and grown up....thanks to the gift of one selfless person who fluffs so funny, we all have a great time.......just sayin.
99% fluffing? Wow, Shoshauna's really letting go...
Perhaps, you should open a window slightly....
Happy Birthday darling ooo I hope you didnt propose to Cags as you are already married to me.....mmmm...then again....'BP thinks real hard'.....oh hell why not a three way....what fun xx
Kimberly,
Happiest of Birthdays to you my banned friend! So...they really ban folks here, huh? The forums are brutal and hardly for the faint of heart.
I like to skulk about and take notes...I will occasionally leave a snarky comment to get things going...you know...if they ain't already going...
I've gotten more than three Hub ideas from the craziness coming from a random forum thread...still...they are a distraction from the writing that I enjoy doing. As such...I just kind of troll them as needed. (although...I don't troll them as a troll...I troll them as me.)
Is water (type) trolling spelled different? Hmm? I think not.
Good luck in your fight my friend! It seems to me that if one were to willing admit to (other) righteous bans...well then...some slack should be slung your way.
Thomas
I also have been banned...3 months this time. And I'm CERTAIN I did not make a personal attack. There is a clique here,IMOO, who rules with a velvet glove. They let freedom go just so far, then they reel it in. And, it's def a right-leaning/religio clique, as I see numerous insults and personal slurs against lefty/atheists go unheeded. Either left-leaning people don't report, or their reports are not taken as seriously, IMOO. And people will say: "Oh everybody says they are mistreated"....but I can say honestly I did not make a personal attack, nor did I swear, unless F'n is included. But, in which case, I have seen real swears go unheeded!
Yeah, I was pretty nasty in attitude, but so aren't many.....
In any case, it appears to be a clique of people who just don't like you, and decide who and when to report.
And--the person(people) who obvioulsy reported, then went on to bash and laugh at me with their buddies. Pretty clear I would say.
And hardly free speech. More like Focus on the Family type BS.
Hmmmmm...to be Kimberly's "one and only" is a gift indeed...it is, in fact, the greatest gift of all....
much love...
kisses here too...
Kimberly,
I'm fully in the dark regarding these bans - is there a HubPages committee of sorts that prohibits hubbers from participation due to perceived offensive material?
Here's my own sense of the matter of censorship; I think anyone, or group, who determines, initiates, and maintains anything (business, social club, etc) has every right to oversee it's operation, including who does and does not participate . . . and on the other side; no one, or group, has any right to compel others to join or participate in any organized product of their design - so, anyone who's banned from anything doesn't have to be banned because they don't have to participate in the first place.
Now, I understand that is all theoretical, and that some businesses or clubs, etc, are so public and common to so many that it can become discriminatory if some, even though their participation is voluntary on their part, are banned from participation. So, I recognize it can be a tricky matter.
As to the concept and practice, in theory or as a philosophic issue, of censorship; as an old fashioned, Bible-believing, born of the Spirit Christian, I detest the concept of censorship. I am keen in my interest to not offend other, I count it an act of love to take care over what might distress those around you and to cause no offense - but the notion that God wants us to say "Joe said the 'f' word" rather than to simply say "Joe said fuck" is ludicrous. "Fuck", for instance, is a word, like "book" or "truth" or "resist", etc, are words. The particular collection and order of specific letters or sounds have no power in themselves beyond their meaning and the power we give them to move us, trouble us, convict us, etc.
God does not have a list of "bad" words people shouldn't use - God calls us to not offend . . . I personally think it absurd that today we have to say "you shouldn't use the 'n' word" instead of just saying what the word is we shouldn't use - however, I'm not Black, I understand the offense and distress and hurt that word can cause for many, so, even though it seems silly to me for adults to say "the 'n' word" rather than just saying it, I defer to others seeking to offend no one.
I once had a bit of a battle with a church woman who overheard me telling someone (who I knew it would not offend) that "my dogs shits in the back yard, not in the house" . . . her argument was that I "shit" is a 'bad' word and I should say "my dog poops". I told her I would never tell her "my dog shits" but would say "my dog poops" but that I know the fellow I was talking to and knew the word "shit" would not trouble him at all . . . and that "do you really think that, apart from offending or distressing anyone, that God Himself prefers the word 'poop' to the word 'shit'?", and her quick and sure answer was "yes" because 'shit' is a bad word and God is not bad He's good.
It's that, the notion that someone out there can determine and publish and regulate good and bad, right and wrong, that is to me contrary to the heart of Christian thought and teaching. God says nothing about anything along the line of 'shit' being a 'bad word and 'poop' being acceptable - God talks about love and not offending, not about knowing and following some list of censured words . . . and, who do we think we are making-up standards of 'good' and 'bad' that exceed God's own revelation of the real good and bad?
. . . all that to say - I detest censorship, most especially in the name of God, Christianity, the Bible etc . . . censorship undermines the practice of love, it makes us feel better than our neighbor because we would never use such language when our attention, the thing that God calls us to is, owning a genuine interest to love and so not offend our neighbor (not fall in-line with some man-made list of 'bad' stuff we shouldn't do).
Kimberly,
That you count me a dear friend sends me to bed tonight warmed in a manner no amount of blanketing could achieve.
The powerful and unique thing about Christianity, authentic Christianity, is that unlike every religion men have concocted, Christianity's message is not that we ought to strive to be righteous, but that to know God we need to recognize our inability to be righteous . . . Christianity's message isn't that we are to try really hard to be good - Christianity's message (authentic Christianity) is that there is no way we can be good enough for God so stop trying. All trying to be good does is give us opportunity to think ourselves gooder than our neighbor and more accepted by God then our neighbor, etc. God is about love and humility and surrender - He's not about judging others and pride and striving.
On the "need to be right"; there is a difference, I think, between what we call 'being right' and knowing truth. I don't need to be 'right' all the time and about everything - but I do want to know the true truth and conform my life to it. Jesus was constantly being judged and faulted (by the most religious people of His day) for hanging around with those who were not the 'right' kind of people - but Jesus knew the truth, He knew their hearts.
So, what's with the banning here? How does one get banned? Who bans them?
. . . "sleep well" - I will sleep well because I take your warm words to bed with me.
. . . "stay cool" . . ? . . I just am, can't do anything about that.
"LMBO" . . ? . . love Mickey's bold originality?
please, please - have sweet dreams tonight . . .
. . . I'm in Hershey, Pa, Eastern time zone, it's 2:47 am - what time zone are you in? What's your time just now?
. . . well then - What are doing up at this hour ?! Get to bed young lady! Don't make me come up there!
I have a 'Mickey Jr', my 1st son - why do you ask?
And, what books are you writing?
And . . . I have to tell you - this photo you're using now, I think, is my very favorite. Nearly every time I see it, so tiny as we chat back-and-forth, on the home page notifications, or wherever, I can't resist clicking on it to see it just a wee bit better - you are a beautiful woman. seriously, I think I've clicked on it, on the very same photo, maybe 7 or 8 times in the last hour or so.
. . . so, what about Mickey Jr?
. . . hey, you kept me up, I didn't keep you up - in fact, I told you to get to bed.
I'm doing well today, but, a bit tired . . . I need to start getting to bed at a more reasonable hour - which means, I need to not be enticed to stay up late talking with my cyber-babe.
How far along are you in your books? Are you alternating, writing them both simultaneously? When do suspect finishing either?
Hey Kimberly, thanks for the reply.
I'm just reading through the threads, and I just saw 2 people calling other people piss ant and stupid!
This is what is so frustating. It's all political.
At least it's free speech here :)
. . . no,no - I will do anything for you Kimberly, but I will not accent to such a falsehood. I am a (nearly) 60 year old bald guy, nothing too thrilling going on here to keep the attention of so charming and gorgeous a woman . . . you could have turned from me and slipped into slumber any time you wanted - I was held captive and could not end my evening until your release of me.
. . . I'm sorry you had to call for me, my great hope is to be there, always at your right hand, ready to provide whatever you lack and eager to fulfill your immediate desire . . . I was off pondering new and superior ways to please and delight you.
Hah! Now who's the charmer . . ? . . d'oh!
So, I wanted to ask you to give me your impression of my newest hub, the introduction to an anti-self-help self-help series . . . but I've yet to hear your review of my 'Collected Scratchings' or my 'Those Photos That Tell A Story - About A Part Of You' hubs . . . I'm distraught.
. . . yes - when I saw your comments on my 'fussing about vampires' hub my heart withered, I feel miserable that I was whining here about you visiting my work, while you were visiting my work - you're the best.
. . . and besides "younger"?! Left you for a "younger" woman - I wouldn't leave you for anything in the world, but certainly not for a "younger" woman . . . teenage girls a re the worst things on the planet - my attention was always given to mature, strong, vital women.
Sr-et al,
she says she is 45 but looks 25 writes like she is 35-silly and yet 75-wise...so I guess maybe she averages 45
but thats just me
TH
. . . or, she writes exactly like she's 45 - her 45, the 45 years she has lived, her own 45 years. And her appearance - Kimberly is one of those stunningly beautiful few who presents a sweetly innocent smile behind mischievously sensuous eyes . . . all that's pretty of both a youthful girl and grown-up woman. She's the best.
Kimberly,
This has nothing to do with "Banned . . .", and I can't even tell you why I thought of you as I watched this clip (I don't recall you ever saying anything about either of these performers or the song) but it seems to me, and I'm hoping, you might be as delighted with finding this as I was.
Mick,
thats what I said but-I am not as eloquent... but what do you want from a big lizard like me...
TH
. . . hey, king of the big lizards . . . c'mon, the rest of us would all be King Ghidorah feed if not for you.
mSR.
GREAT REFERENCE... GLAD YOU KNOW MY WORK, everyone thought i di when me and kong fought- but I'm just a beter swimmer
TH
"everyone thought I died when me and Kong fought- but . . "
. . . that depends on where you watched that epic battle.
(Kong won in the US, but you were victorious in Japan)
. . . and I love you (more than Gojira does).
. . . did you check-out the clip I posted for you above - I'm really quite curious, as I say, as I watched/listened to it you kept coming to my mind, so I'm interested to see if you moved by the song, this particular performance, the relationship behind it, etc.
Sounds like a cue for the trumpets, chariots, lions, and elephants.....stand aside gentleman...I claim Madam Kimberly as my life-long agent....and I assure everyone that she will be overworked and under paid...and so, sorry hubbers...no more time for you "less fortunate competitors" .... (no offense...heck, I wanted to be a hot dog vendor, with a questionable reputation, no less....), but....... "dreams are for dreamers," and now.........Sigh .......I'm now the "King of America," ruling firmly in a world which all started changing when Tiger Woods became the Pope, and the president of the country, "Las Vegas," became Kid Rock.
But I still don't understand that small print in my, 99 year term, "King Contract", where I'm the one wearing a chicken suit, trailing an annoying group of want-to-be actors with a HuGE puuper scuuper ....
It's clear that this is the definition of true love and a rebirth of the indentured serving of "the greater good", outlined as a new clause of the newer constitution......sorry fellas...King!!!... [scratch..scratch.......]
I'll send all a congratulatory spam, and wish you much oatmeal in your older ages.......excused......
..
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Good morning, Kimberly....
Today's the day we start getting some real work done, you and I
...have fun, Kimberly, for sure, you are the greatest, and you, as much as anyone else, deserve to relax and have fun..
This is real life pushing through, though, making things happen...virtual sucks...it's full of deceipt and manipulation, and ultimately, people looking to serve themselves at others expense with no obligation or commitment other than shallow diatribe and crappy, overly-sentimental enuendos, none of which pays a dime of rent or puts a single crumb on the table...let alone helping someone in need...
ILU...Ms Kimberly!!
. . . sometimes, genuine people may meet on only a virtual path but enjoy an authentic relationship - it may not at all "pay a dime of rent or put a single crumb on the table", but it can lift a spirit and warm a heart . . . a cyber friendship may not provide shelter but can offer a shared meeting place, may not supply food but can feed the soul.
I'm not here to speak for Kimberly, but since I care so deeply for her, I must say something, cause...dude you're "on" her constantly and its not fair to her..
I am simply here to help her as much as she will allow me to in her "real life" which you seem to refuse to acknowledge at all ...
A virtual friendship is a copout..you "give" nothing but "friendly" words out of context.. hell, a parrot could do that...
In the "virtual world" you know nothing of anyone's immediate, very real needs, nor seem to care.
"Virtual worlds" which by definition are not real.
"Feeding one's soul," sounds righteous, but really does very little. There are countless external ways to "feed" one's soul, literature, music, etc...and sure the occasional "virtual" friendship...
But those are minute compared to any one day's real needs and challenges. You're simply rationalizing the opportunity to require a selfless person such as Kimberly to all day long respond to you, when she has many, many important tasks in her real life to attend to, none of which you help when you're constantly after her attention.
My goodness, man, get on with your own life. Sure, periodically touch base with Kimberly, she's that special, and I'm sure, will always be your "virtual" friend, but how about you care a little beyond your own needs... hmmm....and perhaps, not require her to constantly attend to your needs....
bbnix,
If you are someone actually in Kimberly's life, one who is able, in real life, to be there for her and enjoy her companionship, then I am pleased she has someone committed to care for her and seek her best interest - if you are one like the rest of us, one who has found her here, online, and been smitten by her warmth, creative spirit, and physical beauty (like I imagine everyone here has been) and are feeling territorial with her, like she's your special friend and no one else's, then you need to consider who is putting her in an uncomfortable position.
This should not have been posted here, publicly . . . you could have contacted me privately and shared your concern, and, without the "which you seem to refuse to acknowledge", "You're simply rationalizing", "My goodness, man, get on with your own life", and "how about you care a little beyond your own needs" kind of calumny. It's not fair or kind to the person, you don't know . . . and, since you don't know what you're talking about, you need a bit more "it seems to me" and "perhaps' kind of approach.
More importantly, it doesn't seem fair or kind to put Kimberly in this position . . . it seems she's very fond of you and it seems that you've enjoyed some manner of relationship with her a good bit longer than I, she has also been very warm and encouraging to me - I wish she didn't have to find this here, on her hub, but (as I said) you would have come to me privately about your concern.
My above comments are coming from an objective perception of how we all treat one another - I don't want to see anyone feel discouraged, humiliated, hurt, etc . . . subjectively, as far as 'me' goes; I am not discouraged, humiliated, or hurt - I am the most contented person I've ever met, I enjoy a happy life with people who love me . . . I take your concern seriously and review my part in in this and deal honestly with myself. I don't want to cause anyone, especially one I adore, any distress whatsoever. I want my part in everyone's life I interact with to be a wee spot in their day of genuineness, caring, and a cause for a smile. Having declared, honestly, my hope and intention . . .
. . . I live with a high functioning form of autism and I recognize as fact that I can be intense, that I can fix my attention on something to a degree and duration that leaves others behind, frustrated. This serves me well in the study, at my desk - it's not so useful, but can be troubling, in personal relationships . . . I know I can pursue a point in such a relentless manner that, from my perspective appears a practice of reasonable diligence, but to the rest of the world appears nearly inhuman (my children, from their youth, have long called me 'Mr Spock').
I also deal with words differently than most . . . if you look through my requests of Kimberly to review my hubs, you will find an occasional 'please don't feel any sense of requirement to give me such attention' or 'only at your convenience, and if not at all please know I understand', etc - to me, those statements mean something and disqualify your charge against me.
Understand, I'm saying to me, from my inside my head perspective, those several comments insert the idea that I that I don't want any attention to me to be a burden for Kimberly, I'm not saying that those few comments objectively permit any manner of behavior without consequence . . . I know, I've come to realize, that very few people are as precise in how they use language and communication as I am, and that tends to produce circumstances like this, where I know and meant what I said but everyone else is (reasonably) skipping that bit and going by how things look right in front of them.
My impression was that Kimberly and I found just a bit of a kindred, companionable soul in one another. I hoped I was encouraging her and providing her a little goof of a new pal to visit with . . . her encouragement and warmth toward me is much appreciated, she has genuinely helped me move forward in my writing and what I'm willing to share, and I tremendously hope I've not replayed her with by providing her a reason to cringe as she peeks in here.
Kimberly, honestly, really truly, you can tell me straight-up, any time you feel you need to avoid me a bit or that I introduce more an unpleasantness than a delight to you . . . I'm not as needy as bbnix makes me sound, we can ratchet down our interaction here and still remain pals - I'm excited to share with you, I like you a great deal, but I will not feel hurt if you let me know I've been a bit much for you here. Above all, I don't at all want to give you any cause for distress - you are my interest here, not my own tender ego.
bbnix, as I said, I am taking your charge against me seriously. I know I can be relentless when my attention is on a particular thing. I hope this doesn't hinder our getting to know each other better in the coming weeks and months and becoming pals.
. . . Kimberly, if these comments are troubling or unpleasant for you and you'd like to remove these several posts from your hub, or leave them, please know whatever your preference is I am happy to comply. Remove me or keep me, avoid me or come down here and visit, comment on occasion or review everything I do here - I will adore you whatever course you take . . . I know me, I can take whatever confronts me, I have learned the secret of peace; whether cold or warm, hungry or well fed, an abundance of Kimberly or Kimberlyless, I know how to be content - I am not as bbnix imagines or portrays me, I am a man.
Good morning Kimberly. Can I get you some coffee? I saw your Biography and liked it very much. She did a wonderful job. The MF at the end of the initial paragraph happens to be me. I left you a completely witty, and charming comment. lol
Now back to our regularlly scheduled programming.
Everybody around Kimberly is so amazing....a bit obsessive, perhaps, but hey, who isn't nowadays, then there's beautifully flippant, adorable even, even while always slyly self-promoting, but why not, right, who doesn't, above the fodder and frey is beautifully selfless, Mother Teresa would much rather have been clever than in the trenches, for sure, why get mussed, when others do it so well. The selflessness here fills one's soul. Kimberly is truly lucky.
Me, I'm not so great..I'm totally f**cked up, need therapy, am way to needy, have little in this world but my love, passion and integrity, and should be totally avoided...that's cool. In fact, given the opportunity, i might foolishly give up everything I've ever owned, and accomplished, down to a single bag even, and simply stand on a street corner touting my love for Kimberly.
It doesn't help anything or anyone, certainly not myself, nor her..it's only how I feel....
So I'll just step back and let everyone continue to be that great...and occasionally, if lucky, Kimberly will have a slow cup of coffee with me..someone who has nothing to offer but true, unconditional love..
bbnix,
I wish you were as pointed in your comments above as you were in your charge against me earlier . . . previously you aimed terms at me like "copout" and "rationalizing", now you ethereally say things like "while always slyly self-promoting" and "would much rather have been clever than in the trenches" amidst gossamery paragraphs - you made yourself very clear in your initial accusatory post, in this one I don't know what point you're making.
. . . but as I say, I can get excruciatingly precise about things and pursue a point in a too relentless manner - you need not explain yourself to me, I'm merely letting you know that, if you were interested to inform me of something, I'm not getting it.
Kimberly, I am genuinely sorry you have to sort through this mess, and I regret whatever part I've played in it's display. I want you to get nothing from me but a tiny bit of a wee bright spot in your day - you tell me straight anything I can do to better achieve that . . . including disappearing. My interest here is your wellbeing and delight.
My interests are only regarding Kimberly's well being, and to tell you the truth, I'm such a wack job, I really make no sense at all to her either. Hell, I don't even make sense to myself, nor do I really want to, and that, in and of itself is a huge reason why I love her so much...as she simply accepts me as I am...dain bramaged and all...
What do you say, you all just talk about yourselves and Kimberly and I can just look each other in the eye till someone fluffs first...and it ain't gonna be me.....just sayin'...
oK Mickey n bb,
if you to don't stop fighting i'm gonna turn this hub right - write around and we will go right home, without stopping for ice cream- o-right Kim....
TH
I'm a lover and a pacifist, I don't fight, I Obfuscate....(ie...1. To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand: )
Must be that Panama Red Ice Cream everyone else is eating...
Me, I was just born annoying as hell....it comes natural....
. . . I don't know - what kind of ice cream?
. . . I need more than "some" Blues or I'm going to start-up all over again.
Blues are my middle name, but real Mississippi Blues down those Hooker Alley ways where 3 locals are in concert, one horn, one piano and a harmonica with vocals that hold notes longer than you could ever hold your breath. Man I miss it there
Oh ya I had a point. Did you read the TOS regulations fully or at all. Wait don't answer. I did a poll where out of 75 who answered not 1 had. My point? Either did I!!!!! still have not [note to self eat one of these hubbers when comment is over] and did not know alter egos/other accounts could not post in forums so now I am banned from forums indefinitely. I am just pissed because there is so much preY there! So I visit here today to suck......................
Consider my ultimate sacrifice, prey, I'll gladly throw myself upon your sacrificial altar to be sucked, eaten and all but consumed, to live an eternity as forever part of yourself, but what's that you say, no prey or alternative egos on the forums? My God, is that as drastic a change as it sounds?
The blues just went a hell of a lot bluer....3 hot locals singing "Prey sings the Blues" just blew Mississippi down the river
Her steps are sure and she tosses back her hair,
Yes, Her steps are sure as she tosses back her hair;
She walks alone down the alley of despair.
Entering the club every head turns to the door,
When she enters the club every head turns to the door;
He's finished his set but now he's got to play more.
He plays nothin' but the Blues,
And she's his only muse;
And now that she's come out to play,
He's got somethin' he's got to say.
She walks slowly through the crowd and takes her seat.
I said she walks through the crowd and she takes her seat;
He steps down from the stage and plays at her feet.
The passion of his song fills her heart with fear,
Ohh, the passion of his song fills her heart with fear;
Looking into her eyes makes his own shed a tear.
His words cut through the air,
And like no one else was there,
They are as one within the song,
They'll be together before too long;
He plays nothin' but the Blues,
And she's his only muse;
And now that she's come out to play,
He's got somethin' he's got to say.
His strings soar where no other player has tread,
His strings are are soaring where no others have tread;
She looks down at his fingers all dripping red.
But now death instead of love will finish this day,
Yes it's death and not love that will end his final day;
He was singing to Kimberly but listening was Prey.
Hey He plays nothin' but the Blues,
And Kimberly's his only muse;
But now the night has brought him Prey,
It's his show, last song, and last day.
. . . I'm not sure if you may - is anyone going to be troubled if you do?
Nevertheless, to honor and thank you for your appreciation of my feeble putting around, here's a bit of the real deal - you do not get any bluesier than Blind Willie McTell singing "Tombstone is my pillow, cold ground is my bed . . ."
Prey's always really nuts, Kimberly, but she has to find me and right now, I'm prepping for a long dive at 40,000 feet...I have a rendezvous at a castle, and I so know you're going to be there, Kimberly...dress casual. but warm....black silk is always acceptable.....
Sorry, no colors are allowed....
Those are awesome blues I must admit...thanks...
I am sooooo laughing out loud right now...thanks for the hub....and a belated happy birthday to you kimberlyslyrics!
Hey, MIckey Sr...... Dude, what's with, "It's his show, last song, and last day."....You posted those awesome blues...let's have some more, and certainly, no one wants to see you go away...
K ". . . and you better hub that"
That is yours, for you - you may do whatever you please with it . . . as long as it gave you even a momentary sense of pleasure, I am satisfied.
. . . then go check out my narrow (but to me, deep) comment.
. . . and, may I ask, what inspired you to write on 'intentions'? I ask because in my comment on Sunnie's 'introduction to Kimberly Gray' page I shared my own personal appreciation of you in regard to how my own intentions have been affected by you.
I have only been a member for 3 days and already I have been banned. I have no idea why. I think I should at least get some sort of notice, but I had to find out when I tried to publish a new hub and it said that I couldn't because I was banned. Yeah, I'm more than a little pissed. I contacted the team, but it is Christmas Eve and I doubt they will get back to me any time soon. Thanks for sharing your experience, though.
Emma,
you have come to the right place- kim is a real pro at getting banned..especially from the forums....
TH
Great read, Kimberly. Be strong and keep up the good fight! Well behaved women seldom make history. History respects the bold and emblazoned feminist! Great cheer!
just saw this sorry, great cheer girl, great cheer!
Good morning Kimberly. I see that this particular Hub is still drawing visitors. All kinds of visitors in fact. The wounds from being banned must be healing at this point. I hope the coldest part of winter has passed and things are warming up in the Canadian Plains. Have a good day today.
You would think that a Hub Super Star with a 1076 followers, that there would have to be a traffic light at her hubs just to help the flow of traffic. Hope all is well in your Canadian metropolis.
Is this occuring across your Hub horizon? We will just have to stir things up a little.
I sent a return email this evening. Book Two looks ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KL,
i am here on the couch watching my fav show...i think i'll go to the gymn in a few hours....then i'll nap and head to work lil later.
TH
Well, I just am stopping by to bring you your Starbucks this morning. Way to darn cold for you to go outside. When does Book Two go live???????????
WTF, you such a bad girl, but the danger vibe is exhilerating *lol*
TH
oh boy here we go again!
Kimberly what have you done now?! You are being kept under such a watchful eye.
Kimberly, major enemy number one to the team..never justified
You'e the greatest kiddo..luv ya..
. . . how are you - I mean, besides being gorgeous how are you?
I well, and delighted to hear from you - and really, really happy to hear your books are selling, that is great. I was thinking of trying Smashmouth, but I don't know, the formatting, etc, seems like tedious work. I saw in a comment on another hub that you Skyped with someone (about snow in his neck-of-the-woods - we'll have to do that sometime.
However - I've told you this before . . . you should never have any image other than yourself as an avatar - anything but you is a big giant let-down.
A writer's life need not be solitary..even if that has been the norm....
Certainly we must work from within, but not all of life need be about work, as love, passion, adventure, and sharing have a profound place in our hearts as well...
But you, Kimberly, are an incredible writer, so keep it up...just step out with us mere mortals on occasion....hmmmm
Just sending out a message to 'the rainbow galaxy where Hubbing is the only form of transportation' to see how the trek is going. Reading the comments I see that you are pleased with Unnecessary Poetry, and More Unnecessary Poetry, that can be found on Smashwords.
Hope all is well and that the writing is flowing.
Writing is flowing from you, Dear Kimberly, you're transforming the world as we speak...
And the most humble special thing is...you don't even realize it..but know this...the world rotates because of a tiny handful of selfless people who have ever lived, or will ever live, and you my dear, epitomize that incredible soul...the world will know of your heart..but more to the point, it will be forever transformed by it....love, caring, self sacrifice...you are all that..no soul could ever hold a candle to you...ever...
I'm banned again too. Kim. I seem to average one every couple of weeks lately. I suppose we need to listen to Simone's Podcast about acting professional on the forums! LOL!
SSSSS
Yes, love, but only because of you...know that...and just watch what I can do as that mayor...you'll be so proud...you are my Mary Shelly, as I am your creation, Frankenstein, with a massively huge heart and the strength to do something about it..
HA! They don't even bother to tell me why I'm banned anymore! LOL! They just say the thread it supposedly happened in. And yes, they penalize your profile score and now they've removed 3 of my accolades! LOLOLOL! Now I'm not an "engaging writer" anymore! I feel so chagrined!!
Do you think I've got a chance to make "Elite"? :P
SSSSS
You need a band-aid KG. Being banned is good for getting sleep. Join the rubber hubber club. xoxo Keep on Hubbing. Blake4d
. . . why, or how, or for what do you guys keep getting banned for? Are there policies that you flagrantly ignore or are there such rigidly confining rules that you can't help overstepping as you are simply being honest and being 'you'?
I also love that you brought my comment up in this hub. I also think they should have to extradite you in order to ban your forum posts. Canada does not extradite to America. So there. Keep on Hubbing. Blake4d
. . . we're not allowed to be goofy?! That's, well, that's goofy.
She was also banned for being from Pluto and having friends named Mickey. I wonder if they have anything against ducks? Keep on Hubbing. Blake4d
Careful, for some of us, not only is Walt Disney's exquisite character "Goofy" our irreplaceable hero, but "goofyness" is a passion of life as important as life itself, and of course, without a doubt, that makes Kimberly my princess of princesses, as she is the goofiest princess there has ever been and will ever be, and I for one claim her as my personal princess goofy "numero uno"...
Hopefully the "team" is finally done with unjustifiably messing with you all the time, my dear Kimberly...
And perhaps, just perhaps, they can treat you and everybody else as human beings and have an open and honest dialog, so everyone, together can learn and grow, and then, perhaps, rather than frustrating everyone, hubpages could then become the major societal player it's capable of being...
woooooooohhhhoooooooo back at you...ILU..
Contest? ... bring it on ....is it the best voice.?..best looking?....brightest? ..... most humble?....=P (besides you win at all those, hands-down, my Kimberly...)
"All this commotion emotions run deep as ocean's explodin
Tempers flarin from parents just blow 'em off and keep goin
Not takin nothin from no one give 'em hell long as I'm breathin
Keep kickin ass in the mornin and takin names in the evenin
Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out"
eminem...
ditto..
look out world...K and W are the new sheriffs in town...
"Badges, we dont need no stinking badges..."-Blazing saddles
I'm still here too, Kim! The hall monitors must be on vacation or something! :P
SSSSS
You've got a deal, Kim! But I believe they dislike me more than they do you, so it's probably a done deal! :)
