ha ha... yes, perhaps katakowsj was suggesting something more morbid than I originally thought.
Nah. I didn't mean anything morbid about it. "Belly-up" being more of a colloquialism for an individual pulled up to a bar. I suppose I was intending to convey Hubski as a location for intelligent, rational social discourse. As I see it from my perspective, Hubski, due to following other users, offers a social accountability in idea sharing that I've never before experienced online. We are all free to make asinine and hurtful replies to one another as long as were willing to accept the resulting changes in our followers or shares. On Hubski, users are tied together via positive interaction. There are no other social obligations. Hubski offers habitat for creative ideas to roam and grow as they become self-supporting.
