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.

Angela, the world is going mad!

I would like to know what happened to Spunky's profile - it's wiped - she was one of the 1st 100 but now her member date is 7/8/2009. 3000+ lifetime comments and profile statement are gone - but all her friends still there, all her recent comments and all her blogs - how does this happen?

I figured that would happen once Marge and Tabitha showed up

Angela,

As you already know, since I've been on GOLO I've never recieved an email about abuse. I am thankful for that, I try to be honest and somber with my posts.

Also, you know I'm not Tabitha, Huck, Mark or any of these other IDs people accuse me of being.

Tabitha said vile and racists things in EKS blog, which is not in my character.

This is the first time I've left you a comment, and hopefully the last.

Good grief people. What is the point of arguing on a list post? Come on. This is ridiculous. Golo Managing Editor

My thoughts ? Well I've emailed you a few but will say that the rest contributes to the fact you are letting tasteless comments adorn your site. People are constantly attacking each other on here and you're allowing it to stay. I cannot tell you how many comments I've hit abuse on - the comments were about other members and completely uncalled for. I assume after time it makes someone feel invincible. I think you should start deleting profiles and putting their IP in a time out. I know what you said about IPs, but I know you're capable of it! It just makes sense and might stop all the negativity. Especially with 13,000 members.

Imagine the ones who do not post, if you see a blog go up look at the ones who CONSTANTLY post.

And take a look at the dog naming contest.

Not rocket science!

Have a great day Angie...I mean Angela. :)

Sure thing. =) I wasn't sure which way would be quickest for you to get. Have a great day. =)

Yanno, the tickets to the Britney Spears Concert would be a great present to a child at UNC Chapel Hill Children's Hospital and a parent. Just a thought! I entered and if I win, I am going to donate them. =)

angela, how long is this kind of mess going to be allowed - I usually don't do this but I copied this from Jackadoo's profile

Golo appears to have an abundance of those obsessed with drawing attention to themselves. You know who you are. Certainly, some have mental issues. They block/unblock/reblock etc. Basically, they are attention ho's.

Then the retaliation blogs follow (from those blocked), that further clutter the blog space. The end result is more drama and all of golo suffers. Sadly, neither party is really as important as they think they are.

btw, If I am blocked from posting on your profile, please show the respect of not posting on mine. You will be deleted fat face Hogbless, and SC, and yo udder attention ho's. You and them or so pathetic. Get a life.

Stopping by to wish you a wonderful day. I appreciate all the changes that have been made to the site and all the hard work that you do for GOLO. I have really enjoyed being here. I have learned much and had my eyes opened to how the rest of the world lives. Thanks and take a deep breath. I think the moon is gonna be affecting some. ;)

Hey Angela - this is too cute: http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5536372/

GOOD morning Queen Bee! I hope your day goes well!

np, im honored my recent blogs have been picked, you can leave that pic up =)

Hey Angela!!!!

Can you please delete my "IDC Luv Da Troes" page? This one has the same profile pic and I don't want people getting confused. Thanks Lady!

Angela - I was just looking over your profile, reading comments and could not help but laugh out loud! I feel bad for you, I know you probably get a lot of enjoyment from GOLO but on the 1st page alone I saw at least a dozen grown up people (well suppose to be) "tattling" on each other. I am still laughing and I guess you must too just to cope... Copy and pasting from each others profiles, my lord, when I was a teacher I use to tell the kids, if you are tattling it better be over something that will physically hurt that person or someone else, otherwise, I will punish them (timeout) but the tattler gets a time out too! You deserve a pat on the back for dealing with all of the petty stuff and still managing to keep GOLO a really cool place.

Well, I went here to see what all the fuss was about. Now my eyes are glazed over and crossed. I hope you all are happy. I'll send the bill from my eye doctor appointment to WRAL. Again, thanks.

lol ;)

I know a good stable boy, he's reasonable and furnishes his own shovel.

What?!?!? :)

Hey Angela,

thanks for using my blog on the main page!

I love it when you do that!

ever thought about doing follow ups on the interviews? I can see a great blog for that!

How do you tell what groups are out there before you create a new one? I don't want to double up and have one of interest.

no problem changing the pic and thanks for using it. I was really surprised my spending habits were/are so bad in this economy. I plan on changing that.

Thank you for the request and I happily accept.

Thanks, you do mean the one that you search all of golo, correct?

Hi, I understand you are the managing editor of this site. I may have misunderstood a member. She was upset over something I don't understand. Can you help me? I would never want to upset someone. What did I do? I am so sorry. Please tell me how to fix this... Thank you, Angela.

Angela, my Dad is incredible, truly incredible. With each passing year, I remind him of that, as I continue to learn from him. I could not have been more blessed to have the parents I did, the lessons solid as a rock in the things that truly make the difference in life. My Mom, the soft one, the one on all the 'heart' matters and being a good person, my Dad, the one with the engineers mind, the logical and methodical and mental approach to build the other half of what it takes to be complete in life.

He's brilliant if I do say so myself :) And amazingly, at his age he completely understands how different it is today vs when he was making his way in this world. How much more complicated it has become to secure a financial future.

I adore him :) I make him laugh when I tell him that in spite of myself, I did grow up LOL!

Thanks Angela, I plan on eating a lot of good cantaloupe next Saturday.

Hi!Angela Thanks for the welcome. Thanks for having me.

Cool thanks Angela!

Thanks Angela! The snake was most likely a pregnant female which would explain why she was so fat. We paddled by her twice and she never moved. On our way back in that evening she was gone. I wish the picture would have done the Cyprus tree justice, it is by far the oldest, largest, most impressive tree I ever saw this side of the Rockies. John Smith and Pocahontas probably paddled by that tree. There’s always something cool to see in the swamp. Have a great day!

Good Morning Lovely Angela!

Thanks for the Tracker info Angela! I think I will be checking on him every day now. He is so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o cute!

Good Morning Angela *HUGS* Are you going to have your own garden soon??? I know you are making believe mine is yours *wink* Only Teasing You!!! Thank You for sharing it with all and enjoying it as much as I do. I asked my Husband how to get to WRAL...I was going to surprise you with a basket filled with fresh veggies. I knew you would know who they came from or would have hoped...then I was afraid you may throw them out not knowing. I may have to arrange with you a stop by and deliver it to you so you know they are safe.

Angela... GOLO helped save an animal today...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5581729/

thank you! IT was awesome how fast it went.. I feel very confident with the lady who adopted her.... not only does the dog have social issues but she's also 2 years old... GOLO saved the day..... and that's why I still come around =) Thanks for being awesome.

Is it not a TOS violation for GoLoers to advertise their for profit services or businesses on GoLo? I seem to remember several blogs being pulled for that very reason.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5590176/

Hi Angela,

Found a quirky little thing that you may already know about, but just in case you don't I thought I would pass it along. If you include the 'less than' character in a comment then it will nor be diplayed nor will anything after it. See example below. Thought you might want to know.

I am going to try and type '5 (less than) 6 TEST' but you will see that only the '5' will show up.

5

Guys, if yall screw this up I am going to be ticked. I go by the TOS myself, and if someone else make bad comments aobut me I would NOT run to angela. Some of yall are going to screw this up for the rest of us. I really enjoy this site. I hope before Angela gets so fed up that she scales this back to nothing, that she will just start blocking any of you that act like babies talking trash and the other have that act like babies running crying about it. It really sucks that we could lose something so awesome as GOLO because yall can't stop being so asinine - Thanks!

Sorry, I meant to post that on your blog angela!

Angela - Ernie posted his gratitude to all who supported him through his ordeal, http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5612407/. Could that go on the main page so that it can still be visible when some of the contributors come online?

One person, two removed profiles and another one created less than an hour ago. I hope you know who I am referring to. If not, please shoot me an email and I will talk to you that way. I am not going to point out names on here. This person is a troll and stalker of major proportions and unfortunately removing their profile doesn't stop them. God Bless you for all you do and thank you for trying to keep GOLO a nice place to visit.

I agree that this is not a daycare and the back and forth has really gotten ridiculous. What I find immensely humorous is many that are crying foul are so busy stirring chit behind the scenes and acting like they are perfect angels. Which is why I asked the question. I just wanted those few to understand that by posting comments and then deleting them doesn't mean they go away entirely. If abuse has been hit, WRAL has the ability to go back and see what is what.

I wasn't even on but maybe an hour all total from last Wednesday to today and it's just a mess with the same few. It's amazing how out of 13 thousand members there are maybe a dozen that constantly whine but continually do the same thing they whine about. It's like no one can see what they themselves are doing to contribute to the problem, only what someone else is doing.

I'm finding that I stay more and more in private groups

Yes Angela,I try to keep things simple;hoping you're in fine spirits?

Praying for you every night, Angela. May your smiles be big and your headaches small. :D

Good Morning Angela! Praying your day is drama free!

werd !

"That headline of yours almost made me lose my drink! Hilarious!"

Thanks! I have to take care when drinking and reading golo. Dr. Karl in particular. Cheers.

Angela....Do you like my blogs about hot rods, animals, planes and such.....I just wanted to do some non controversial stuff.

Good Morning Angela!

I went to a fellow goloers profile and noticed there was no friends request button. I was able to comment which meant I am not blocked or on ignore, but this goloers is NOT on my friends list. With that being said, why would the friends request button does not show?

Thank you for the response. This person is friends only now so I'm not able to comment. Whenever they open up their profile again, I'll do the same and ask if the button shows on my profile.

angela,

if they remove a pic from a story ( the pic a person pics to go with the blog ) if you all remove it, REMOVE IT cause it still shows me the picture is there even though its been removed

The cantaloupe festival was exactly what you would have expected. A lot of home town folks, lots of crafts, lots of blue grass and country music, plenty of fresh cantaloupe and homemade ice cream. Also a lot of restored farm equipment (tractors, generators, etc.) that were very interesting to look at and watch work.

I am a LEO as well!
