So I'm always amazed how some people can be total asshats on the boards and not realize it costs them business.

If you're a shitty web designer, desperate for work, bitter at life for all your failures you probably shouldn't be acting like an idiot on GFY. Being nice will get you more clients.

Or

If you're a terrific web designer with plenty of clients, making money hand over fist and don't care about getting work from GFY. Well then I hope the day comes that everything in your life falls apart and you come here looking for work only to find that you alienated yourself being an asshat. Nothing lasts forever...

I just refuse to believe that being an asshat on GFY for attention gets more business than somehow getting that same attention in a positive way. It's the lazy mans marketing method.

I guess I just prefer polite people, even when it comes to board personas.

Just my thoughts...
