everyone is entitled to an opinion
if you dont believe that then u should go join al qaida

of course it wont affect my business dealings

**nathan_f** · 04-07-2004, 03:42 PM

nah, i wouldnt go that to that extreme. i will however, base who I do business with on their so-called 'board persona'.

people seem to think just because it's text, and the internet, for some reason it doesnt carry as much weight as they would normally act. i find this quite sad, and it's their loss because i cant be the only person to think this way..

**Nydahl** · 04-07-2004, 03:46 PM

no way
1 very smart guy said - "don't mix music and politic"

**sixxxth_sense** · 04-07-2004, 03:48 PM

I think they deffenetly get in the way, not for me though, i was talking about the CNN viewers.

**sperbonzo** · 04-07-2004, 03:51 PM

definitely not. If I only dealt/interacted with people that had the same views as myself, I wouldn't have nearly as much opportunity to grow as a person......

Besides....business is business

Thats a stupid question,

No.

But for those that think I am in real life what I am on the boards I will clue you in. I am a very different person. GFY demands shock so I play it up.

**Martin** · 04-07-2004, 03:59 PM

None at all.

**insanesurfer** · 04-07-2004, 04:01 PM

Can't say they do.

**Thomas1007** · 04-07-2004, 04:01 PM

not at all
I read the boards to gather info

if reading negative feedback on the boards about someone
I may want to do biz with, I just look for another prospect.

**polish_aristocrat** · 04-08-2004, 05:04 AM

no, but i added a few ppl to my ingore because of their statements about religion.....i think i will remove them though

**jayeff** · 04-08-2004, 05:11 AM

Political (or religious) views don't affect with whom I do business. Their ethics would. So would their board persona: even if it doesn't reflect their real personality, it does reflect the audience to which they are playing.

Exactly.

**Scott McD** · 04-08-2004, 05:16 AM

Nope.

Half the shit said on here anyway is just because you know it will get a reaction...

Couldn't have said it better

**erehwon** · 04-08-2004, 06:56 AM

Nope, I have a very Libertarian view about business.

**DR_PHIL** · 04-08-2004, 07:00 AM

no..but chinese and russian usually draw a flag

**brickbat** · 04-08-2004, 07:00 AM

If I disagree on politics with someone I want to do business with, the trick is just not to talk politics with them. It's not very hard.

**High Quality** · 04-08-2004, 07:01 AM

Absolutely not. Money is money, matter if they're red, green or republican ;)

**Rob** · 04-08-2004, 07:03 AM

Unless you're at a political meeting then there is no need to bring it up.

**Firehorse** · 04-08-2004, 07:19 AM

Business is business and politics and religion are best left out of it.
