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.

I think I'll put up a blog later today for it. It's a fund raiser for Appalachian Service Project. We'll have a chili cook-off, followed by an amateur (if I'm in it, you KNOW it's amateurs) variety show.
Before you ask, No, I won't enter the contest. My title of 'chef' is a bit intimidating to some, so I recuse myself from such contests in my home church. (My chili still is in development anyway. And I don't like to lose - LOL)

I appreciate the difficulties involved. I just remain convinced that the middle ground you guys seem to be seeking is somewhat nebulous. I say that because the basic quality of the postings doesn't change, just the manner of their presentation.
In essence, if the norm is largely banality, then making people play nice in its presentation doesn't change that. It remains banality, just in a more palatable package.
I don't envy you trying to find a happy medium. The sad fact is that in a large group of people, you'll most often find that the lowest common denominator dominates through the sheer volume of their collective voice.

I don't know how you put up with the stuff on GOLO. I would have screamed in frustration and left long ago.
You have prayers coming in your direction. Chemo is a breeze compared to what you have to put up with!!! :D

Rick posted an excellent example:
"http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4654562/
i know abuse was hit on this one...several goloers specifically mentioned hitting it. just curious as to why that one was not yanked, yet one was yanked this morning because you "believed" it was indirectly aimed at another user. i just want you to clarify the rules. it seems like there is a lot of discretion here. - slick rick da rula"
To be frank, the perception is that Tmedlin and Steve Crisp, to name two, are allowed a far larger degree of latitude, and a far smaller measure of enforcement, than other GOLO'ers are.
To fully appreciate that statement, though, you must read the comments as well as the blogs. I recognize that you don't have the time or staff to do that, but it's where the problem (and the solution) both lie.

I’ve been on quite a few other forums sponsored by news agencies. Same type of stuff goes on. People bickering and calling each other names is pretty minor. WRAL just needs to keep up with the legal liabilities.
As for me, as I’ve told others, I am guilty of slinging poo. But I try to make sure it is defensive poo! :)
Have fun!

But, thanks, because now I do know there is a job you couldn't pay me to take. LOL.
Be blessed sweetheart, and I truely hope the girls will get to feeling better, especially with the wonderful weekend weather coming in. Mines, had it last week, and my carpets took a serious beating. So did the shampooer. Sigh....praying for ya!

"Please stay. I am making some changes around here. The bullies are not in charge, and their time is coming to a close. You can be here. You tell them I said it. PERIOD. There is nothing else to be said on the matter, Nic."
I am one of the people that called him out for promoting his business. I don't want him to go either, and have told him so, but I in no way feel that I have "bullied" anyone. I simply thought it was inappropriate to promote his business in this forum. "nic" and I have made a fragile friendship even though we've had our differences. My point is that disagreement isn't always bad, it can lead to understanding and tolerance.

On a totally differant subject, Im not sure if one slipped through but I was looking at the new profiles added today and thought one looked suspicious and thought that maybe you should take a look. I wont post the link here but Im sure it wont be to hard to figure out.
Again thanks for what you do here in Golo Land!!

I wasn't pointing out Rick's comment as offensive. I was pointing to it as a good answer to your question. The blog he cited DOES appear to violate TOS, it WAS reported by multiple people, and yet it's been up for a few days now with no action being taken despite the abuse reports.
When people see things like that, it basically says to them "this user is buddies with management and gets by with things that we do not." It both causes and feeds the perception I spoke to you about.
That creates problems.

Any time Angela.
Have you ever considered working in a child care facility? At least there you can put the unruly ones in time out.
;o)
Am behind you 100%.
God bless.

But you gotta admit Angela, not taking anything away from Steve, because I consider him to be VERY smart as well, but it was fun to watch those two go at it, with neither giving in, but kept clean w/o the insults that some do now when someone doesn't agree with them.
Some believe ole Elcid lives on here today, under another name, & I do too. I sure you know whom I'm speaking of. No complaints though. I always liked him. :)
I hope you get a chance to enjoy this well deserved weather we are having. Have a GREAT weekend!!
