I think alot of folks here have different board/real-life Personas

If I had to just judge her by what she posted I would come to the same conclusion as u SOS. If she really is different in real life then props to her.

18000 posts on GFY and you haven't realized how different people can be on a board than in real life? Seriously. Why single her out? There's at least 100 people on this board who say more "offensive" things daily.

But what personally got me about your thread was the title, which is a real shot at both Ramos and Odie. For someone who doesn't know her at all, you created all this drama and are obviously in denial that maybe you are wrong about her.

How's that saying ... everyone has an opinion, but is it an informed one?
Apparently not in this case

I dont think she was per se "bragging"

And yes this is GFY and it can get out of hand

Uh oh Sonofsam pulled an eros...good luck SOS

do me a favor and nudge Izzy and have him read my response and reply LOL to it so I can go to bed

i dont think any woman who has ever worked for everything in their lives would ever make that kind of comment.

the only people that talk like this:

a) have rich parents
b) married into money
c) divorced into money
d) sleep around strictly with rich men
e) use alot of anti social rich men

people who have had to work day and night to get to where they are do not talk like that, plain and simple.

on the topic of board personas.....

Take me for example
"Juicy D Links" is a persona of myself to some degree. People meet me in person we chit chat and I often here them tell me that you are not what expected due to them having thoughts of me beforehand from GFY, I do things on GFY for a reason , I have my agenda behind everything I do here.

heeehh let me see if the fucker is on ICQ :pimp

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh I like that the "in" crowd on gfy :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

what quote are you reading man?

"Flying off to Paris for the weekend is like a day at the spa for me"
"Spending $30k on a shopping trip in NY"
"Courtside seats next to the visitors bench"

if this is not bragging then i would hate to hear what actual bragging is.

Whats this "In Crowd " and where is my invite? :mad:

Hey, don't knock down on people who actually take themselves seriously for being in. :1orglaugh

I don't know Odie but she has cute taste in clothes, in one pic of her I saw she was rocking some bad ass Rock& Republic jeans, loooooooove those, but for some reason the smallest size doesn't fit me, its way to big, I must be a midget or something, but they look good on her!

You CAN spot BS - right?

PS. All Canadian girls are extremely cool - including if not especially Odie.
PSS. The SOS drawing is still funny as hell in relation to that thread.

Kevsh: I Don't know what you are really argueing.. based on the the quote i quoted in my first post... i don't think i said anything too far fetched.

too many people hide behind "this is my board persona"

it's a lousy excuse for having a shitty personality. it's not like she was being sarcastic and joking around in that thread.. so since she came off like a total gold digger it was her "board persona" ?

Just like i am on this board, i'm like this in person.

Sometimes i'm an asshole, but most of the time i get along with everyone.

and juicy, i can tell yours is a board persona..

but honestly, that 1 thread about the investor capitalists wasn't just the first one... how many times has she posted about taking her friends porsches out and and kind of shit...

shes probably a nice chick to meet... and say she WAS a golddigger... it's not like if you met her at a convention when shes repping another company that shes gonna come out and start bragging about how much money she has.... shes there to talk and recruit webmasters

so saying "i met her at this convention" doesn't really help her out.

Are you serious?

ROFL you were too busy *trying to dance* :1orglaugh


sorry i had to bust ur balls good seeing you in vegas heh

Once i meet someone face to face and talk to em and such ...yes. Wasnt talking sensing it on the internet

SOS- leave the girl alone what did she ever do to you other than just get under your skin. if it makes you feel better i bet it wasnt intentionally :upsidedow

She didn't do anything to me.. but that post of hers basically belittling everyone is fucking retarded, so i called her on it.

what you mean she didn't do it intentionally? i thought it was a "board persona" and shes not actually a gold digger?

thats fine call her out no big deal... but then you called her out again, and then one more time and then again. LOL your point has been made VERY clear.


dude i have no idea if she is or isn't. in all honesty i barely know the girl. it just seems like you had your shits and giggles and now its not funny anymore. :winkwink:

if you do not know if she is or isn't, and are not questioning if she is or isn't, and do not know her,

then why are you responding to a thread that is about if she is or isn't? :helpme

1 thread was a cartoon, it wasn't even meant to be calling her out
and then there was this thread... that's it.

if you don't like it, you arn't forced to keep refreshing the thread and replying.

because i know what its like to have people pick on you and it doesnt feel all that great ;)

your right i can.... but i have nothing better to do.


edit:

your right i can.... but i have nothing better to do *at the moment*

hehe i love when people poke at me, then i get to come back with a ball of fire, the only possitive thing that comes from GFY that compares to real life is to survive here you have to grow a thick skin. :)

you are pushing this too far if you ask me.

Yes, i'm a big bad bully...

and i'm pretty sure that once that guy who spent so much money on her and didn't even get to hit it realises what he just did, he won't feel all that great either :2 cents:

GFY finds it acceptable to be one way on the boards and another way in real life. Most people here complain of keyboard warriors and the like but this is just the softer side of it. Unfortunately this is one of those if you can not beat them, join them things and that is unfortunate because a lot of business and pleasure that could have been done here if people tried to be what they are in real life on the boards will be missed out on.

Some of us hold our board personas as direct representations of our business and ourselves, others do not take it that seriously and untill people put their foot down and demand that that changes you have only a few options, Deal with the fact that you will have to pm, call or email a person if you want to know them over the net for real or you are going to have to hang with them in real life. You can go the other way also and simply not do business with people who are not themselves on the boards as they are when off.

Just like in highschool, having a public persona is a risk that sometimes pays off in legendary popularity with the side effect of immunity when it comes to being held responsible for actions, fear based respect or popularity and love of the people around you based on your attitude, intelligence and general pleasantness.

So yes she plays the same game as some of the big boys, yes she is probably 180 from her board persona in real life, yes you are right, if she were an upstart the boards would have shit on her, yes you are entitled to your opinion weither it should have been brought out here or not. But the fact of tha matter is she is popular, she does what she wants and she has put in the real world time to be able to do it that way. SOS you have your own little part in her popularity now as you just brought attention to her. I admire your stating your opinion even though it is not how i would have done it, but it tells us that you are a person who we knows will be the same way on the boards as you are in real life, I am sure politics or not, the people who look for that in business connections will seak you out.

The politics work that way also, people may agree with you as you said but only tell you that in private, perhaps that was your motive, perhaps SOS knows how to play the game also

sometimes looking into the webmaster community can be scary (from my POV) and kinda intimidating and having thick skin is easier said then done.

it took some time for me to adjust to everything but im doing well now. 2 yrs ago i would have prolly read this thread and not had enough balls and say what i was really thinking. :thumbsup

keep up the funny artwork i enjoy reading most* of your posts ;)

I appreciate the time you took to actually voice your opinion in this without worrying about the politics.

i was just stating my opinion.. no hard feelings

sos this thread is long.. summarize w/ cartoon plz :1orglaugh

juicy d. official statement: ahhaha that shit had me crackin up...

maybe I need to be witty and take pics of everything I see and ICQ the same 6 people to post in my threads.Im not good at this messageboard innarnet friend thingie

no worries and i was simply doing the same. no hard feelings. =)

I wasn't going to bother responding to this thread at all b/c I am not one to add fuel to the fire but enough is enough.

PunkerBarbie, thanks for the comments! You're right it sucks to be picked on and it sucks that b/c we're women in the industry that we can't avoid it. It's been 4 years now since I started in this industry and I've learned to grow some really thick skin. We have to learn to take things w/ a grain of salt.

SOS, thanks for all the attention that you've brought onto me all b/c I posted a thread about an opportunity that I had come up. Everyday someone comes on here and posts about how they fucked this girl and bought that car and bitches about something. I had a great friend and client of mine offer to do something nice for me and my friends and I wanted to share it.

Most ppl here don't have the pleasure and automatically assume that it's all for sex and that's it. Believe what you want but I do have some great friends with whom I've earned their respect in the mainstream business world and as a thank you for my hard work sometimes allow me to take advantage of their toys.

Canada is not a very big place and if you don't know, Toronto is the NY of Canada. I have lived and worked in the financial industry for the last 12 years of my life building and strengthening my relationships with the top VC's and I Bankers in CA and the US. In doing so I've come across some of the most influential ppl in NA and have had the pleasure to eat, hang and travel with many. The say that there's 6 degreees of separation, well in TO there's maybe 2 or 3 if you're in the right place at the right time.

I am good at networking, meeting ppl, maintaining and creating relationships w/ ppl. It's a shame that my post came of as bragging but in reality it wasnt' meant to be. I guess I sometimes take for granted that not everyone lives the lifestyle that I live. I don't live in a big fancy house or even own a car. There's no need for it where I live(I can walk anywhere and get there in 10 min) but I have friends who have numerous cars and let me use their houses, cars, pools, etc b/c they can't enjoy them and they know I will and trust that I'll respect it.

Those who've hung out w/ me and know me, know that I don't throw my money around and am humble in my personal life but I love a great party.(noot to toot my own horn but I sure knwo how to throw one as well) I am also one who likes to share my experiences as oppose to brag about them. If I have the opportunity I want others to enjoy these experiences as well.

I've bit my tongue and don't agree w/ everything that is said on the boards and tried to maintain acertain level of professionalism but I guess how others percieve me is not something that I can really control except for hope that they will seek me out and get to know me personally rather than judge me on the comments I may or may not make on the boards.

With all that said, webmaster access is coming to TO in May and you can be damned sure I will be at the helm of organizing the parties and am usually designated tour guide. Come find out if I really have a board persona or not. I thought that I hadn't separated the 2 at all. Sorry about the long winded message guys! :)

I met odie once and she was cool and fun to hang out with :)
