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.

So Genie2u has been doing this cute blogs today-guess this GOLOer. They were all done in good fun and were positive blogs.

I just came across http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6073126/ which is making fun of Genie's idea and using it to make fun of GOLO members. Not nice at all. As I'm sure that the person will hide this come morning, I have hit abuse and am putting it here for review.

spunkygirlraisedinthesouth

another "guess who?" I have been INSPIRED by another GOLOer!!

I have a "guess who" game of my own...with a twist.

The twist is... the GOLOer I'm thinking of shares the various traits below with several others. This GOLOer:

*Preaches the "Gospel" as he/she sees it out of one side of the mouth while frequently blogging/posting nasty comments about others.

*Blogs about the "childish" actions of other while practicing the same.

*Appears to have a need to feel superior to others.

*Is able to see the faults of others while missing flaws in self. (Mystic mirror problems

Angela, by the time you get this, the following blog that I am reporting as abuse:

(http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6073126/)

will be private. If you honestly want to know who the bullies and so-called "pot-stirrers" are on golo then I would suggest you start with the author of this blog.

This is the first time I have ever come directly to you with a complaint about another member, but enough is enough. Thank you for your time.

I should also point out that I have no idea who the author of that blog had in mind; it is tasteless regardless who the intended victim is.

TGIF Angela !!!

This place has been like fire and ice lately.....

HOPE you and your family has a WONDERFUL weekend :)

" So you know I'm about to put that image gallery on the home page, right? Congrats again bride-to-be. Is your daughter excited too? "

I now know! LOL think my face turned bright RED when I read that! That was sweet! Thank ya ! Lil Sessy excited? She is 15, the only thing that excites her is friends, her cell phone, house phone, texting and the computer LOL!

I know she is happy for me, been 6 years since I've ever been this happy!

Thanks again :)

Monk, that is pretty hilarious. Actually that made me laugh out loud, given our history and all...LOL. Golo Managing Editor

Now we just gotta work on that golo interview lmao .. don't worry isnt holding my breathe over that one ... nice to see you are finally understanding my sesne of humor

Now that was funny and had me cracking up ...

Dont think theres anything to discuss. I hit abuse and nothin happens whats to discuss? I just have to accept that some on here are privleged and some not.

personal attack blog

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6082902/

"personal attack blog

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6082902/"

Yes it is - and it's full of danriverboys personal attacks.

He is vicious to people and then has the audacity to come whine to you when I point it out.

hey Angela. I was lucky enough to catch "On the Record" Sat. afternoon on WRAL. You did a great job. Have a great weekend, you deserve it.

Unfortunately for Prometheus, he fails to see that none of the commentary he cites on his blog specifically names any member of GoLo. You've already stated repeatedly that you do not get involved in discerning the meaning of comments. As such, my commentary is not a personal attack on anyone, much as Prom would wish that it was.

His blog, however, is entirely an exercise in character assassination, and makes no attempt to veil that, as evidenced by the repeated use of my name throughout the blog. Beyond that, he feels it necessary to come onto my profile and use words like hypocrite to describe me. It's pretty difficult not to consider that an attack. Perhaps you just need to explain to him what does and does not constitute personal attacks here at GoLo, so that he might better understand and be a better GoLoer in the future?

:-D

I made a blog about your show tonight. You really should read some of the comments.

My favorite.

Yeah ... interesting stuff.

"to call someone an idiot, a jerk or a moron is (pause .. ) simply disrespectful' AC.

Sounds like some core issues happening there -- still. brat is Kestrel

Sorry but I forgot to put Quotation marks behind my favorite quote. LOL

I didn't say it, but I do agree with it.

Don't want to get kicked off of Golo for some thing I didn't say. ;)

You did a great job! Better than Mr. Crabtreee and those other 2 fella's. Way to go Angela.

So, how are we doing at this self-moderation thing so far?

Angela gald you are back and speaking of DRB Mybe you need to look at the bog he has up under crime no less, not even adult humor. I thought golo was not allowing such vulgar language but I may be wrong.

You did a great job! Better than Mr. Crabtreee and those other 2 fella's. Way to go Angela.

ps-- i second that.

I too can't get things straight today. i was referring to this blog on golo but he other site I listed was the language of the video referenced in the blog I imagine a person thingking this is a funny link only to be hearing th f word every other minute. Maybe I'm the one not understanding golo TOS

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6087654/

CONGRATS ANGELA!!! I thought you looked fantasic and did a wonderful job!!! Hope you get more chances to be on the other side of the camera and voice your opinions!!! *HUGS*

Watched the Civility discussion and I wanted to say, you were on target with your contributions and insightful way of looking to the questions posed to you. Seemed like you had a good rapport with both of the guests, and I think David would be hard for anyone not get along with...as long as he's not trying to pull your leg or something. :) it was a good discussion and I was glad to see GOLO come out favorably for what it is and for what it had the potential to become.

Happy Monday Angela! Perhaps this says something about how exciting my social life is, but I watched "On The Record" Saturday evening, and was impressed at how well you spoke about GOLO as a communication medium and discussed the issues of anonymous blogging and freedom of speech.

The entire show was insightful and your contribution made the discussion much more interesting.

Great Job! :-)

why would you get blasted. Other than a uncontrollable Coach addition, you are a swell chick.

I missed it Saturday, hubby took me out shopping and for dinner. But I'm watching it now and I thought you did very well. It appeared that David Crabtree did not like GOLO very much and pulled only negative comments. There are many positive comments and blogs he could have pulled from, although I understand the point of the "on the record", lack of civility, but even having been on the receiving end of the negative of golo at times, I am a strong advocate of golo, I am proud to tell people that I am a part of golo, and I do all the time, tell them my ID, I don't hide from being on here, and I don't hide the blogs I do either. I am who I am and I think GOLO provides some great things

(the only blogs I took private were the ones I did talking about a special needs child and I talked the mom into coming onto golo, so I took those blogs private)

I can't believe you or your minions pulled my blog on "Killing Vermin".

How does that violate the terms of service? Other than getting middle aged women who can't relate to people worked up, I don't see the problem. It was a reasonable an informative blog.

Jeez.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6100595/

This is okay, yet you scold me for telling someone to work out? Being a fat slob is preventable, having a "droopy eye" from a congenital malformation is not!

YOU ARE A HOT MESS!!!!!

Hi Angela...you may not want to miss these goodies *LOL*

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6097785/

Angela...you know I am not one to run to you and b!tch, BUT...

these "new and improved" pop-ups are KILLING me.

They pop up in the MIDDLE of the screen, or extend themselves from their usual corner and attack my screen like a horde of flies you just can't shew away!

Puleeeze see if we can't at the very least get them back to their normal corner over there?????

I've got all the software I need, and it still isn't helping.

Pretty please?

It is RUINING my GoLo experience.

Peace, gal!

With regard to this blog:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6100205

please examine the comment left today at 8:51 am.

Tks

lol...thanks. i hope i wasn't crossing the lines too much, but i figure if this is going to be a self moderated community, we should ban together to implement that strategy. the key is making sure it only gets used against true trolls and trouble makers, and not just folks that people don't like.

Angela, thanks for putting my blog on the front page. Maybe it will keep someone from being shocked like I was.

Angela...I think this deserves front page...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6114201/

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a POEM, they give him $50!"

The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad writes all day too! He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his a SONG, they give him $100!"

The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad also writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his writings SERMONS. He reads them in church, and it takes EIGHT MEN to collect all the money!!!"

Dont say that Con Amor did'nt make you smile today! Have a great day!

Question - I noticed that the "your turn" section doesn't change very often. Is it every month or just whenever you see a blog that is front page worthy?

Doesn't really matter, I was just curious because I have seen the same ones up there for quite a while. lol

Thank You for the Honorable Position again *smiles* I do love when the Front Page Changes more often!!!

Hey, we are all busy so if it is just that you have not had the time, then "oh well" lord knows you have enough to do.

Thanks for putting the "proud to be a part of GOLO" on the main page, it did not get a lot of hits, but I still feel it is the truth. I have seen several instances where the community of GOLO coming together has really changed the outcome of situtations. I think that is awesome.

Angela, perhaps you can answer this bloggers question:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6130978/

Hi, welcome to GOLO! Hope you like it here like we do?

Hmmm someone may have stopped by and dropped somethings off for you today...if not sure look in my Image Gallery...Plus Guard at Desk was s Sweetheart *smiles*

You just may find this recipe in a blue bag *wink*

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6134138/

I noticed on this morning's newscast that a few golo quotes were announced with the " mention" of GOLO as the source. Is this something that will be the Norm now in the news ?

:Just Wondering:

I would have delivered it with some Ice Cream and such BUT was afraid it would not last throughout the night...honestly when I opened the bag for the guard I thought he would not deliver *LOL* If anything you do not like you will not hurt my feelings...just put a bit of each for you to try!!! BTW there is a lot more where that came from *smiles* Making more applesauce today!!! And Sweet Pickled Tomatoes...Hubby does not care for Dill as much as we do. Never had them sweet so should be interesting. Enjoy!!!

Angela, I sent this to Amvaughna for referring to me as anti American. Pls accept this as a formal complaint.

Thank you

Halyard

"I see you're a self appointed Golo screener. You used one of my blogs against me as if I were some sort of communist. You do not know me at all and I don't appreciate being called unpatriotic. I served my country during the Viet Nam conflict from 1966 to 1970....3 yrs on an aircraft carrier only to be slapped in the face, once again, 40 years later, by persons like you. We, as servicemen, got a load of that back in the 60's whenever we wore our uniforms off base. Publicly condemned as if we were all in favor of that war. Personally, I didn't favor that war but I did my duty proudly nevertheless.

I've been to many third world countries in my life and career and seen what dictators can do to their own people. I don't want to see some left wing liberal taking us down the road to socialism. You have your opinion and I have mine but don't you dare call or refe

"refer to me as a communist!

Now, go and enjoy your 1st amendment right, one that I fought for, but leave me out of it! Halyard"

Hi Angela!! It seems that you're now the playground monitor along with referee lol.

Is there any possibility that GOLO will change the way we can upload pictures?? Cause doing it one by one will drive me crazy and I wanted to put up my pictures from our visit to the Dino Trail (THANK YOU FOR THE TIX) and from my visit to Boston. To me, it just seems like one by one isn't very efficient and it would make more sense to have the ability to upload multiple pics at once (like Facebook or Photobucket and the like). Just a suggestion =].

Thanks for reading this and have a great stress-free day/week

OOOOOO.....I see lol. I must have missed that option when uploading pictures in the past. well now I know. Thank you!!!

Hey - I see bloggers already jumpin in line, Don't forget me, I am still waiting on my interview. I am so interesting I can bore myself to sleep some days lol (j/K)

:-)

Angela, I really enjoyed the voices of Golo blog. It was very nice to actually hear you and Lolly, nice feature. I hope your daughter's leg heals quickly.

Thank you Angela, a very good idea...I think I may do just that. (Us Vets have feelings too.) Speaking first hand, some of those feelings from back then run very deep...right up to this minute!

:-)

Angela - I have never did this before, even posted blogs making fun of those who do, but I have never seen anything like this. it is in reference to a sick girl we were praying for.

I just prayed for the little girl to die again. And this time, I added a request for genie2u's family to become ill, as well. You keep posting, and I'll keep praying! ignc73 GOLO member since March 16, 2009 October 6, 2009 10:52 p.m. Delete Block Ignore Report abuse

Ok, now I'm praying for some little white kid to get killed walking to school in Wake County since the voters just voted in people who will end busing. ignc73 GOLO member since March 16, 2009 October 6, 2009 10:59 p.m. Delete Block Ignore Report abuse
