Is it just me who thinks its completely absurd and ridiculuous how some feel that the "board persona" they see here is NOT a direct relation to the person they do business with?

I mean day after day on the boards we all see people act and talk like they are in highschool still. Mentioning they showed their 14yr old greenguy....confessing to a cocaine habit for nothing more then attention and views....ripping people off for what most consider peanuts...lying about what they make or can do...etc the list goes on

How valueble is your impression on people based on how you see them act.?

And then i see everywhere people saying...ohhh thats his/her board personality, he/she isnt so childish in person...That is bullshit. If you cant contain yourself and hold yourself accountable for what you say on the boards, in front of thousands, how can i trust you to do it in a private business relationship where money and commitment are involved.

I know it would be a stretch for me to get into any fierce arguements via message boards (dont get me wrong pissing can be fun) but why is it so common for people with a future to "weed" themselves out and show the industry their true mentality and true colors.

This is one big advantage we have over "brick and morter", theres no race, color, or bad suits, just what you project yourself as, and what your performance shows you to be. Why dont people use this to there advantage instead of always "playing" the retard card?

Great Question. I think it's normally a cop out, I admit to using it myself from time to time. You say something you shouldn't have or that offended somebody and now you say "well you don't really know me it's just my board persona"

I have noticed though that on Pornojunkies I'm a lot more timmed that I am On GFY and I'm a lot more well spoken on Porncity then I am on JustBlowme.

Perhaps I need to see a shrink
