cgod Oh and please correct me if I am wrong but judging from your profile, it appears you only have 42 comments? From the ones I read most are just small talk and banter. In only two weeks on Newsvine, I did 86 educational comments. Reddit over 100.

You want to know why I quote the dictionary? You consider your contribution "original, valuable" and mine drivel!! ahaha

Drivel is defined as silly nonsense.

So let me get this straight. My writing is educational, debunks stereotypes and is cited with numerous sources and you call it drivel? Yet yours.....

"Never seen this many accounts to upvote a spam post before. Hope it's not a sign of things to come."

"cold brew chit chat"

Your opinion: N=1. I think I will continue doing what I do.

P.S I would love to hear how this article was pseudo-philosophy. I am sure the numerous pastors and PhD's that agree with me would love to hear your intellectual rebuttal. But please don't hurt yourself.

cgodread the comments I wrote to Devac . At least there is one respectful and humble guy here so far.

"prepare to be judged on that act and that act alone.” First impressions are everything."

One of the most respectful thing one can do is honor the rules. I read the TOS and ensured I was complaint. I have had no issues or complaints on similar sites like Newsvine. The bible talks about righteous judgement, yours was a snap one.

"just a person who wants to use Hubski as a blog mirror"

Again, read what I wrote to Devac. Yes, that is my intention. I did not know many of these sites existed before I bought a 3 year web host plan. So I will use it and post. I see nothing wrong with that. Instead of my brain to hubski, it is going one other step (my blog). FYI, Devac already said how this site will provide almost no traffic. Why do you think I am still here?

FYI, I choose to only post on my own threads because of people like you. You create controversy and fail to read previous comments so I must repeat myself. To keep an educational discussion going it is imperative I respond timely and with relevant scholarly sources which takes time.

Here is a snippet of my previous post "Now I am going to be 100% honest. I will mostly be participating on my own threads. The reason being is I want to have a real educational debate. To do so, I have to be able to respond quickly and with scholarly sources. This takes a lot of time. Just this reply took a bit because I like to be clear and concise".

"A post in support of judging things upon their apparent merit when you don't know your audience seems like folly."

You seem to be the only one bothered by it.

"no real interest in engaging with the wider community."

I put a lot of effort in to my writing and I respond to almost every comment on every other board. I and many others would consider that engagement.

"I am not embarrassed"

You should be. You accuse me of spamming (which you just admitted I am not) when you are in fact by definition spamming my post. If you do not like my content move on.

So I am unsure of the reason for your post. If I am not spamming or violating the TOS, your comments are of no use to me. The great part about this site is, you don't have to follow or read my posts if you choose not too.

Devac I guess I have "online pheromones" and attract harshness?

I make very compelling arguments. Maybe I can make it another "tickle topic" for you.

Oh man are you a law aficionado? I am very into constitutional law, intellectual property and finding loopholes.

Tip acknowledged. This article was my "test" article to feel this out. I am glad I started with this as I would have wasted a better one.

Wow, that was an above and beyond spammer.

Now that we are both on the same page, maybe you can help me out with two thing:

1. I don't like the 1 at the end of my name. I deleted a post and somehow my account deleted? My Password did not work and when I attempt to recover, I get a blank page. I can't find any contact info to an admin. Do you know of any?

2. If it is not too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate you following me for a bit. I would hate for this fiasco to happen again. A vet from a veteran would probably nip that in the bud until I get more well known.

factoverfallacy1  ·  2778 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Yes, we do have the right to judge!

Devac Yes, your comments were very presumptuous and resembled a mob like mentality similar to what I would expect on Reddit. I took such offense that I am writing this using my smartphone. So excuse the edits and grammar. However, I am very forgiving and it was very big of you to admit being a little to rash.

I was shocked by the responses because when was the last time you saw spam:

1. Written in the citation format.

2. Not selling a product

3. Willing to defend and respond promptly to criticism.

4. Blatantly matching my name with the website. I am not hiding anything.

5. Reading my other articles on my website.

5. The biggest flag should have been, when has a "factual based website" ever been a money maker? A picture of cleavage would make more money than I would in a lifetime on my site.

Why do you think this sentence "If it's like the mentioned hundreds who hope to get traffic it's not a good place for it" does not bother me one bit. You will see many more posts and unlike many bloggers, I personally write and respond to almost every comment.

Now I am going to be 100% honest. I will mostly be participating on my own threads. The reason being is I want to have a real educational debate. To do so, I have to be able to respond quickly and with scholarly sources. This takes a lot of time. Just this reply took a bit because I like to be clear and concise.

The ignorance on Reddit is astounding that sometimes, I am doing 100 replies a day (time consuming x100). It mostly goes on deaf ears but if I only educate one person or cause someone to think, I did my job.

Look at my pit bull article on Reddit. I provided over 45 citations and was still called "insert ad hominem". Yet people fail to realize their opinion is N=1 and a citation means I did not come up with the idea. So they are in actuality calling experts wrong with no rebuttal but their bias.

My motto “an educated opinion is fine, a bias is not". I guess I took the educator old adage of "it is not just the answer but how you arrive at it". I can never fault anyone for being wrong when they have an educated argument.

Yes, I can let bygones be bygones and understand why you guys came off so defensive. However, I hope you see I am genuine.

I know people might not be as "militant" as the topic as I am but that is why I joined this site. If they do not like my topic, they can respectfully move on. I will show everyone that same respect.

The internet is riddled with so many stereotypes, propaganda, and illogical opinions, I thought my site and these discussions would provide a valuable contribution. To think I actually miss University because of the citation system.

How does that back him up?

Is sharing an educated opinion with sources to back it up not "acquiring knowledge"? Is looking to have an intelligent debate not trying to "seek and share" knowledge?

Since as I posted above, I am in no way violating the TOS, it is not spam. On the contrary, you all are spamming my post.

I will continue to share (Posts of personal content are fine) as I deem fit. If you do not wish to participate with a relevant comment, you may move on.

factoverfallacy1  ·  2778 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Yes, we do have the right to judge!

jadedog cgod First off, let’s define spam.

According to Oxford dictionary: "Irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients".

___________________________

What should I submit to Hubski?

There are no strict rules for what you can and can't submit to Hubski. However, the best posts contain ideas, information, and perspectives that we haven't encountered before.

Posts of personal content are fine, especially if you have something interesting or creative to share. Feel free to share personal insights and experiences with us. Of course, spamming won't be tolerated.

____________________________

Irrelevant? No, I used to proper tags. Matthew's "judge not" is probably one of the most misused quotes in the bible.

Inappropriate? No, all of my articles are educational, cited and confirm with Hubski's rules.

Did I violate the TOS? NO "There are no strict rules for what you can and can't submit". This would be considered by Hubski a "best post" if not discussed before. Can you link me to a similar discussion?

Can I post what I have written? Yes, "Posts of personal content are fine, especially if you have something interesting or creative to share".

So please tell me how this is spam?

Now your comment, is by definition spam because it provides little value to my post.

@cdog@ FYI, in the future, please use what the bible calls "righteous judgement" before you embarrass yourself even further.

Next please.

factoverfallacy1  ·  2778 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Yes, we do have the right to judge!

cgod Well, I am well within my rights to share my material according to the TOS. So get used to it. A discussion in accordance to a TOS is not by definition spam. I write what interests me and would like to have an interesting discussion about said topic. If you don't, please move on.

Second, how is my post anti-religious when it conforms to the biblical doctrine? It appears even a “sophomoric topic” is well above your intellectual capacity and reading comprehension. If you disagree, add something educational.

I guess the "weak sauce" is too much for you to comprehend as Matthew is one of the most highly misinterpreted quote used on the internet.

Oh wait, you must be in that group. Sorry the truth offends you.
