in summary, your entire online personality and everything that goes on at the boards you post at is bullshit ... as the title of this thread says. nobody is talking about you personally, we only know what you've shown us. If there's more, like your last post suggests, why not just be yourself?!
You don't have to take yourself seriously, but business is a different matter ... these boards are business, why bullshit on them about who you are? Yes they are also for some fun but too many have gotten caught up in that and forget why webmaster boards exist - to do business.
Why do you feel the need to have a different personality here than you do in life? Why is it that so many people say the boards 'arent real' and yet we do real business here, meet real people and discuss real topics? What is the definition of 'real' if these boards aren't?
I'm the same person on the boards as I am in person - i'm a bit quieter in person these days (not by choice) but I am who I am - good points and bad. I want people to do business with ME based on who I am and what I can offer them. If someone doesn't like me personally, they may or may not promote my products ... but at least they have been given the opportunity to make a choice about who they are really doing business with.
There are a lot of people who dislike me, a few who hate me, but probably no more or less than you - and you've been fake and i've been real. Whats the difference in the end? Its harder for me to run and hide if I fuck anyone around ...
I guess when you provide quality products you don't need to make up glossy fronts for them & when you do real business with people you don't need to make up personalities.
*shrug*
I'm sure I'd like you in person, and you are probably a really smart guy ... but I live in Australia and don't travel much these days, so you either get to know me on the boards or not at all. I'm sure neither of us will be disappointed if we never meet, but do you see my point about keeping it real?
