I have never ignored anyone because I like debate, and other opinions even if I do not agree. But last night was the most unsettling thing I have ever witnessed here. I know it was probably all just a joke, no one can be that evil but I guess the way I was raised I would be terrified to make those comments for fear of what may happen to me as punishment or karma...

Angela. Just wanted to say hi. You needed a stress-free message without drama. Ttyl

Good Morning Angela!!! *HUGS*

I would like to put a nomination in for Front Page...

Theycallmefireman has been putting helpful tips up all week for Fire Safety Week...He has some great reminders for all to remember....wonderful BLOGs with much information. I believe he started Monday and has done one each day/morning

Hey Angela!! You know I really try to stay off of your profile, because i know you're always getting whiney comments. But I need your help. PLEASE!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6163467/

Angela, Please do something about this comment:

"About Huck, her reputation here speaks for itself. She posted a blog about my family calling us white trash using pictures she copied from my image gallery. And did another one about my newborn grandson using his picture and titling the blog 'What's This." I think Angela deleted them both. She's not a nice person.

Sorority is all I've known them by, SS for short. Historian Ph.D"

I'm sick of him stalking me and my comments, I have never given this fella the time of day, and nor would I post pictures of him or his family. This is a TOS violation, MHO.

Thank you.

Angela, if I was at fault I apologize. I was asked by Mrs. Fab about what I knew about those members and I answered as truthfully as I could.

I'm sure you remember those blogs in question as you and I corresponded about them and you deleted them.

And I'm not stalking anyone, I have the plaintiff on ignore. Her complaint was brought to my attention by email.

TheAdmiral has authored an outstanding blog that I think deserves to grace the front page. Have a look for yourself!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6171711/

Btw, hope all is well with your daughter. Have a great weekend!

Hello G Momma A

Greetings from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the leaves are starting to change. It has been a wet summer so the colors should be very nice. For all leaf watchers that come up to the mountains, next week end ( 17 Oct ) should be peak.

I hope this note finds you well. RW 3rd

Angela,

While I may not agree with this person's opinions and we banter back and forth, for this member to make outright LIES against me is unacceptable:

"And just so you know, wuffie has already been busted for pretending to be republicans holding elected office...blogging as if he was them. Lost his job because of it. But is still working hard based on his training from Rules For Radicals, and the belgian waffle, to silence his opponents."

I have NEVER pretended to be a Republican official nor have I EVER been FIRED from my job. This defamation has to stop.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6181451/

Angela,

Once again, I can deal with her name calling me, but I just had to create another blog to defend myself, she is specifically saying lies to me on here. I was just emailed this comment from one of her friends:

"He's the one that got busted for pretending to be a republican state rep., lost his job, but still works fervently for ACORN." - tmedlin http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/2608312/

Just as before, I have never pretended to be a Rep. State Rep. I have held the same job for years Not only have I also never worked for ACORN, I have wrote a letter to a NC Representative recently about my displeasure in their tactics.

Once again, it's one thing to call me the names, but to create lies about me is malicious, callous and possibly criminal.

I have a headache, a cold and I broke a toof and this chick constantly using GoLO to advertise her business if annoying. Does this mean I can set up my website and advertise on GoLo since apparently it is allowed??

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6182596/

Have a groovy week. Make it a good one.

is there a video feed of the noon news for today

WRAL.com accepted the national Edward R. Murrow Award for best Web site from the Radio-Television News Directors Association during a ceremony in New York on Monday."

Congrats to the Golo Team!!

/* lolly stands to applaud */

hi. how come my driving post has vanished? can you not have two blogs at once?

Good Morning Angela *HUGS* CONGRATULATIONS TO WRAL!!! Yeah Team!!! Just thought you should start your morning off with a smile!!!

Here is a good one for you to enjoy...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6193150/

//STANDING ovation for WRAL//

Congratulations to the entire WRAL team!!!!!

Congratulations on the "Best Website" award!!!!

An award well deserved, good stuff.

CONGRRRRRRRATS!

way to go, WRAL

Angela - Cullen browder just called me about a complaint I filed for several goloers on the UNC hacking mess. He needs to interview them - Can you get blog on front page for them to see?

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6202136/

Also, look up Bigot haggis. The definition only fits one person in all of this.

The only person not being TOLERANT of other peoples views is YOU, NOT the company, they force NO one. YOU are the one that has NOT one ounce of tolerance so take a good hard look my friend and check that websters dictionary out

LOL - sorry you can delete taht angela - that was for Haggis's blog downing some company for allowing people to pray (in a private room away from those who wish not to participate) lol

I'm in meetings until around 12:30 and again from 2:00 on. I don't have anything on Friday though. About how long of a time period would you like?

"I'm available Friday between 230 and 4." Sounds good to me!

omg ive never been over here before, but have heard that it hosts a zillion whiney messages. LMAO!!

anyways, ya, that flu blog issue is weird! i can't edit it, i can't delete it, can't make it private. i still have control over all my other blog posts tho.

queue twilight zone music. LOL

in any case, i posted a link to the repost, in the original, so hopefully people will carry on the conversation :)

that's a monday for ya!

hey lady, I hope you are having a most awesome start to this fine fall weel (we finished up our fall activities and are know rolling around in fire safety fun). I have a question about the "top talkers". The number of posts you count, are they pulled from private groups as well as open blogs or just open blogs?

Inquiring redheads wanna know

Good Morning Angela!

It is great to hear from you! I'm glad you found my blog an interesting read. I learned a lot about people and their beliefs from it, which is a great thing because I plan to teach Religioin on a college level one day soon.

Thanks again, Angela!

Hey, while you guys are working out how to ID all your golo users, what about working out how to put the Author Name on the blog list? It would save a number of clicks and probably help keep things down to a dull roar. Cheers.

Hey Angela, thanks for responding. I'm guessing it was a space issue, but it sure would be a "nice to have"! Cheers.

it has been a long time since we chatted. I enjoyed your blog today about "working moms vs stay at home moms". One of my pet peeves, so I sort of let loose on your blog. I see it from both ends as I offer a part time slot (2 if there are moms that can juggle an alternating schedule) that is geared strictly for the stay at home mom to provide her with time to go to the doctor, volunteer at school for an older child, or just go have a cup of coffee. So many daycares it's full time or nothing.

So, I see the issue from both sides (also having been both a "working" and a "SAH" mom). There are no right or wrong, it's what is best for you. Sometimes you don't have a choice but most of the time, there is some sort of choice that can be made.

Anyway, good blog.

Thanks for the answers on the # of comments. That is good information to know. I was just wondering. Thanks again!

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/6220436/

It is hard to be exact, because some folks go private when they create their id. But I think this one is our 14,000th member

Hi, Angela...You know, I try not to pop over here to complain and whine, but tonite I just have to say something. There have been numerous blogs by one member that are nothing but soliciting visits to her web sites, which are selling her products and/or crafts, etc. Now, I know that I am not the only small business owner that regularly visits and uses this site, however, I can't name another one of us that has used GOLO as an avenue to advertise our businesses, web sites, etc. because we're all under the impression that is a no-no, as outlined in the Terms of Use. Now, if this is a misunderstanding on the part of the rest of us, let us know, because things are tough all over, and I know a bunch of us could certainly use the free advertising medium, ha ha. (I think this is pretty well spelled out in the terms, but apparently one of us either didn't read it, or simply doesn't care.)

Thanks! Vent over.

Fly by HI!

Angela - my vote for best quote of the day

Hey, while you guys are working out how to ID all your golo users, what about working out how to put the Author Name on the blog list? It would save a number of clicks and probably help keep things down to a dull roar. Cheers.

although Timbo sucks, this is a good point and idea to consider.

Here's a blog that needs front page space. This is an epidemic of mammoth proportions and the consumer is NOT getting the service they deserve, or were promised by Congress !!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6286594/#at

Thanks, Angela. It seems that first time home buyers are actually getting help with the new laws to help state agencies with funds, and with the tax incentives as well as the extension of the tax incentives being proposed. BUT, when do those of us who already HAVE a home get the help that was promised ?

You might want to follow this issue - maybe even get a reporter to take a closer look at these issues. Too many people are losing their homes even when they've been promised help and aren't getting it.

this is what Jules was referring to. I can understand how frustrating this is for other small business owners that have been slammed for advertising and for others that follow TOS and do not use GOLO for free advertising. Nothing against the poster, she may have a wonderful product, but Jules does outstanding pictures and could certainly use the free advertising as well, if the TOS has changed

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6299671/

NCMOMof3 = narc

:P

I have never reported a blog before but this has harsh language and deserves to be removed. Thanks

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6301861/

I was wondering if the standard for 'appropriate language' could be the same as for WRAL TV? I've heard many words on TV that are filtered or banned here (including your blog's example of azz). Not that such words are becoming - and there needs to be some standard by which language is controlled to cover golo's 'six' - but I think it would be most consistent philosophy-wise to make the language code of conduct match that of the FCC. Any thoughts? :)

Thanks!

And thanks for puting up with all of us!!! I have no idea what you're paid, but it wouldn't be enough for me. :)

As to the coarse language topic - there's no way to please everyone (out of almost 15,000 golo'ers!?!). The FCC idea hit me last weekend watching TV around lunchtime when the common crude prefix to 'hole' was not edited out, but 'hole' was. I was like, "huh??" Then I thought of the whiners on golo and imagined the gnashing of teeth that would follow - and then be dumped on your shoulders! The FCC rules would be a way to continue your leadership in content, but have the recognition of an existing standard to back you up.

anyhoo... have a great day!

Angela - a technical question: Is it possible to put a group on ignore? Or does it only work for individual profiles?

LEFT ON MY PROFILE:

Why are you saying all of that about this mother. You are a cocaine abuser yourself and cannot even hold a job any more. I know you quite well as a friend. So lay off this person and look at yourself real good. Professor October 29, 2009 2:16 p.m. Delete Block Ignore Report abuse

I won't even acknowledge those comments with rebuttals.

I have no idea WHO this individual is, only that I have reported abuse on it several times before.

You can get rid of it, or ME.

It keeps coming back, it behaves exactly the same way, yet it is allowed to continually occur.

This is starting to sound to much like politics.

I NEVER do this. Sorry I feel the need to now. Just tired of someone who has nothing better to do than trash your dedicated golo'ers.

/* giggle */

/* bump stumble bump */

/* giggle */

/* knock, knock, knock */

Trick or treat!

Hi I going to forward your blog about Working moms vs Stay at home moms to my wife. We live in S Tampa and I definetly see the dynamics at work that you talk about in your blog.

Angela....the comment was dealt with (many GoLo'ers reported the comment)...but the owner of those comments still rambles our beloved website.

I just do not understand how an individual who is so belittling and contributes nothing progressive is allowed to continue to exert such behavior with no reprimand, except a deleted comment, on occasion.

It is quite frustrating to see this type of behavior slip through moderation and TOS requirements.

Thanks for your response.

Thanks. My wife's Part time job ended so she's been accepted back in to the fold for now. LOL! What part of South Tampa did you live in? we were in Palma Ceia when we first moved here. Now we're on the other side facing the Bay on the St. Pete side, right off West Shore Blvd.
