well, I have been very guilty of speaking my mind, and defending myself on a board when I feel attacked.
I have made the mistake of standing up for other people too ( damn that always gets me in trouble) when I felt that there was a little guy or underdog, or friend of mine being picked on or attacked by the drama folks.

I actually do not like board drama and try to avoid it for the most part now days .

I made the point early on when I first got into the business of standing my ground when I was called stupid, or noob, or a nobody, etc.....
( never allowed it to happen in real life, and was not about to allow it then)

However I learned that many of the people talking shit, were either testing my response, or actualy were people like what you are reffering to here in your question.

I am always at shows, and I am always a true person. I will speak my mind and stand my ground. and if any of you have met me, you know I am not one to take bullshit from people either.

I do not consider myself a tough guy and do not want that persona, ( I will however definatly fight if provoked or it is necassary)

I am here to do business first and foremost, friends come second, and as for the drama and bullshit, well..... I too wish it was not a part of our industry but alas it seems it is at least on the board part.

I do get business done at shows and I do not understand how people do not get business done if they go there for that purpose. some of the best talks I have ever had about business and life in general have happened late night at a trade show.

I hope I have not given too many of you the wrong impression of me over the years, by the way I have posted.

I am working on that LOL, I hope to meet everyone in person and really get to understand them and for them to understand me as a person at some point in time.

Boards just can not offer that the way a good sit down conversation face to face can. With that said I do not believe in the excuse board persona is different than in person persona. I think that is used as a cop out to many times.
