How much on the boards is real opinion or just a public face
 

I see a lot of people saying something on the boards that seem quite contrary to their actual opinions/practices.

And I can see why, you have to keep a public appearance separate from what you might truly be thinking.

How much of what you see on here do you believe and how much do you believe that people are just saying what the majority wants to hear?

Hmm, pretty much all real opinion. At least I can't recall saying anything I honestly thought was bullshit. There are times when it's best to just keep your mouth shut though. I certainly won't spout off something negative just to get attention if that's what you mean. If I do say something negative, I'll try to offer something constructive instead of just launch an attack.

I am the same on here as I would be in real life.

It is not just GFY, it's in general.

I am much too busy to keep board persona's, drama, bullshit, lies, and facades all in line. So if I am always the same, then whether you ask me something now, tomorrow, next week, or next year... the answer will always be the same most of the time.

:2 cents:

if its not what you really think then you shouldn't post it

Everything i say is what i believe. Can't stand people that are not honest.

I will not contradict what I believe in public, but I may not include my actual or factual opinions in my statement. As I represent a company with one of the longest histories in porn, I have to mind my P's and Q's.

i am 100% the same on the boards as in person.

So none of you have, or believe that others would ever say something on GFY because the company you represent doesn't want to "stir the pot", so to speak?

You never end up having to say or not say something because of the politics involved behind the scenes?

im not part of the bro club :(

if i dont feel comfortable giving my real opinion on something i dont make a post

In some cases, I simply won't reply. So yeah, I'll certainly avoid saying something that may cause a ripple, but I also wouldn't jump in and say something because that's what I'm TOLD I should say or endorse something I don't believe in.

Silence can speak volumes and sometimes it's very interesting to see who's ABSENT from certain conversations, MUCH more so than who's actually involved in the forefront. :2 cents:

I have always just been me on boards and on the internet in general. If for no other reason than I can't be bothered to have to try to remember what I said in different places at different times. If I am always me it is always the same answers.

I didn't go that far chum. I said for me personally.

I can't speak for others, or the industry as a whole.

:2 cents:

There are some people that have been playing the public for years with board personas.

True enough.

oh i know quite a few of those. i laugh when i read their posts. i won't name any names, but i get a good chuckle out of some peoples posts.

i have carte blanche to stir any pot i wish. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


that could be good or bad. :1orglaugh

Believe it or not there are a lot of things I don't/can't say in public. :)

I don't say everything about myself, but when i do - i say the truth. Otherwise i just hyde - do not say something.
