about angela_the golo editor

I am the Managing Editor of GOLO. I've worked in broadcast, print and online news for 15 years in multiple markets including Cleveland, Tampa, West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. I moved to the area with my family in February 2007 and have had the pleasure of watching this community grow from its infancy.

There is still so much more to come here at GOLO, so stay tuned. I think you're gonna like it here.

Thanks Angela for doing away with the "views" thing. One of the best things you've done on here! Now if you can do away with the "view comments" button it would be great? :)

"Hi Timbo: You are grossly uninformed about why the counter was removed. There is a chance that it will come back to profiles in the future. But please know that it was being abused heavily and has nothing to do with a single complaint. Actually, it had nothing to do with a complaint at all"

Why bother trying to explain anything to those idiots? They would not recognize the truth if it slapped them in the face. They are perfectly content to simply make up whatever they like and run with it ad nauseum. It is their nature.

I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although he spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you At the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!

Thanks for putting up with me Angela!!!!!!!

Angela...I am so sorry. I appreciate everything you try to do. I am just so sick of the hits and jabs instead of just getting the issue to the front and trying to resolve it. If it cannot be resolved, just move along. Why can't that be done? I still have little snide remarks made about me. I don't say anything...I just move along. I spend a lot of time in Tranquility letting off steam. Only 14 members now...Maybe 5 or 6 that are active. I'm just sick of it! I have friends on both sides.

Just a thought about the counters. I thought the more hits Golo gets the more money that you can charge for your advertising spots. Sounds like a win-win for Golo and WRAL.

"Why bother trying to explain anything to those idiots? " Steve C. on your blog.

See what I mean? What a whiner.

Angela, you may have answered this before and I missed it. When there are folks that hit abuse constantly does their 'abuse button' not hold as much weight with the golo community? What I'm saying is, I've hit abuse like 5 times in the past two years, almost, that I've been here. Does MY 'abuse button' mean more than someone else's that hits it like 10 times per DAY?

Angela, I try my best not to allow most things to affect the way I act. I am not perfect by any means, and every so often, I do loose my temper. It happens. But generally I am on golo to discuss things, share information, and for the humor. I swear most days I am just laughing so hard. If most could just see the humor in things, they wouldn't take it so seriously. My Granny taught me that with humor, you can get through most anything.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my egg story. I did loose my temper there towards the end when he said "since you're in a bad mood",,if he hadn't gone outside he may have been limping

OK, whatever it is I WANT ONE TOO...

Your welcome. Don't let the troops get ya down girl, your doing a great job and I sincerely mean that.

re your blog about groups: I've joined a few, but only one of these is at all active. How active are other groups?

I don't visit golo to find others who agree with my views. I want to hear different views, and joining a group that shares my views doesn't fill that need. I just want to hear those other views expressed with civility and respect.

It would be nice if there were a group where that was the only requirement. Since there isn't, I'll just have to accept that there will be people whose primary debating tactics are bullying, intimidation and insults. At least when I encounter posters who constantly refer to others as idiots or worse, I can give their opinions the weight they deserve.

Angela...You have to contact your English teacher from high school and advise them you have finally used the word "egregious" in a sentence. :) When I saw that I thought to my self, "Self, Angela has been reading up on those 'It pay's to increase your wordpower' articles in Readers Digest!!!" You go girl. Glad I missed all of the drama again, and soooo glad not to be knee deep in the hoopla as it seems I usually am. ;) Be good and have a Great Fourth with your family!!!

please read asap, and if you can help, please do.

EMERGENCY -- Angela, please read this comment from ric

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5474413/

he implied that spunky might hurt herself??? site now set to private...take a look please.

Angela, thank you for the blog you posted. I too suffer from cancer and seeing the posts this afternoon on that blog just shocked me. There is so much negativity on this site now, it is so sad. Constant bickering. I am going to take a break from GOLO because the negativity is just too much anymore. Thank you for all you do and please do not think that I am blaming you, you shouldn't have to babysit these people, they are supposed to be adults.

Hi Angela! Thanks for the doggy collar and mousepad, I'll have to send a pic of Molly (my dachshund) typing on my computer with WRAL.com on.

I created a birthday banner as well:

Angela,

I have always wondered what my dog does when I am at work. Now I know!

http://www.wral.com/golo/image/5486229/

She loves GOLO as much as I do!

For you!

http://www.wral.com/golo/image/5486669/

"Angela" in "As GOLO Turns: Revenge of the Trolls, the Sequel."

ROFL! I'm not sure if that would be a comedy or a horror movie. Certainly nothing for the faint-hearted.:-)

If there are any other tutorials that you think would be great, let me know! I know how intimidating GOLO can be for non-tech-savvy users, but I do want them to feel just as welcomed and empowered as the tech geeks on there.

Angela, you know it! I can't even put the nasty stuff in my mouth.

But I'm first in line to get an oatmeal-raisin cookie??

I also love strawberries, but hate anything strawberry-flavored, like ice cream. I love cabbage in most any form, but hate brussels sprouts. We humans are weird, huh?

"Happy Birthday" to GOLO, and thanks for your continuous efforts to keep us in the playpen!

Susan

Just wondering... would it be possible to post a graph showing how GOLO has grown over the past two years? Something like a line chart maybe? Just a thought! It would be neat to see the trends.

"light workload day" ??? Oh please, I think you've got plenty of reason to take it one step further and call it a "no work, all play" day for all the hard work you've been doing over the past two+ years!

u all dat and a bag o' chips!!

Happy Anniversary Dear! I hope you are having a great day!

I hope you have a wonderful 4th, Be happy and stay safe!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary/Birthday and hope you have a great & safe 4th of July with your family! :)

Hope you and your family have a happy and safe holiday. And, Angela, thanks for all you do! HUGS

Angela, please check the welcome wagon image galleries. javajoe has made some first rate tutorial slide shows. You may want to feature them to new users...

I found this too funny:

"So I took it with me to the car (after making sure that it wasn't ticking) and finally opened it when I got home.

I could not believe the beautiful clock and inscription thanking WRAL, GOLO and me personally for community service on our second anniversary. "

So wait a second... it was a CLOCK, but it wasn't TICKING? LOL! I don't know why that cracked me up...

Hope you're having a great holiday weekend!

Hey Angela !

Wishing you and yours a wonderful and safe July 4th weekend!

I WILL be adding this one to ignore/block but before I do, I wanted you to know this person is going around posting to others in a negative way as well.

and here is the troll;

You and your friends are a bunch of whining weinies.

your shoe part made me think of this but I didn't want to put it on your blog,,,the "other side" of my family,,well,,anyway

someone gave me a bag of boy clothes last week and asked if I knew of anyone that could wear that size (they know I will find someone that can use it) so I went through my list of folks that I know that are in need and came to a cousin by marriage with 3 boys and a girl,,,so I took the clothes to them when I went home for the funeral.

anyway, my sister called to say that the youngest one,,who is 5, grabbed out the pair of socks (the clothes were 10-12) and said "these are MINE, I don't have any socks so these are MINE" and put them one and wore them all that night. After awhile he came back into the living room and said, "well, I might not have any shoes but at least now I got socks"

OMG

his parents are both drug addicts, the dad put the mom in the hospital with broken ribs a week ago,,it's a nightmare and don't even get me started on social services,

but does that NOT just break your heart?

he has shoes now, just so you know

Thazt's grat that you are gong to ke ep those storeis. Iwish I'd paid more attention to my elders and wrote down things now. No my son shard the fouth with his wife's family. I did a blog of my fourth. I went to Ft. Bragg to help the military and their families celebrate. Like I said I shook hands with Ms NC. Angela she didn't have that natural "genuine smile face" if you know what I mean. Looked like her smiles were pasted on. I guess she's new and will get better with practice.

you made the quotes of the day,,,,they are funny

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5513155/

I love reading those, they are a hoot

re:"Puhleeze! You'd all start blogging on GOLO! :-)" LOL Good one, and probably right on target.

Hello Angela

hope your family had a nice July 4th weekend :)

Seems we have another troll I would like to introduce you to

also what i am going to make your blogs living hell hall monitor GOLO member since November 20, 2008 July 6, 2009 4:45 p.m. Ignore Report abuse

then they stated if they were to get their profile revoked they would come back under another ID

Just thought I'd let you know. Also they are on "Friends only"

Another troll........

here is the link to the comments in which a few you can tell are obviously here to cause trouble

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5512180/

angela make sure you read the whole blog, they must not have liked my opinion and started with accusations and then talking about my mom, then they felt they needed to gang up on one person. some of their blogs i don't agree with and the pics they put up are offensive. http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5512180/

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/5518176/

Angela, this is wrong! I hope you can ban the IP. Remember we had a similar problem right after stud muffin passed away.

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/5518176/

ANGELA!!!!!!!!

Angela, there's somebody claiming to be Studley, "Studley's Back", & w/ a pic..this is outrageous!! Is there anything you can do, Mike was a good friend to many of us.

hello...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5520010/

any comments? i mean, did just one person click abuse and i got that email, or did multiple people? is there a person at golo that authorizes these emails being sent out?

LOL! Are you kidding me! I shut down the clinic so I could watch! Really, The patients didnt even want the nurses to call them back into the rooms because they were watching. I kept flipping to the GOLO home page to see if there was a live chat, or any conversations about it. When I didnt see anything, I just took matters into my own hands. LOL!!

Good morning! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!

Did you change the picture on my last blog? If you did, that's cool -- I suppose it could've been considered copyright infringement. I would've liked to have a little warning, though, because if you didn't, I've been hacked and need to change my password.
