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.

Totally disgusting.

Hi again: Keep in mind that there is nothing slipping through moderation because GOLO isn't moderated. I'm happy to have members provide helpful information such as yours but most enjoy the real-time conversations happening here, that would not exist if it were pre-moderated.

I understand this about GoLo, however was not thinking of that at the time. The same sort of things occur on the news side, so my frustrations are justified, although my approach was less than reasonable :)

Thanks again.....

*poof*

Hi Angela...I just wanted to let whomever is running the Phantom of the Opera Contest to know...the Director with Weber is Harold Prince not Harold Price *smiles*

Hope you are having a GREAT one!!! *HUGS*

Not a problem...I tried calling Switch Board who hooked me to Clark's phone...left a message...thought I best leave a message with you!!!

Good thing Ariel knew all those answers...I am looking forward to our night of Phantom of the Opera as we have our tickets already...hoping to win Tickets for Ariel, Kat, and their others *smiles*

Glad you got to hear the "Googled" interview. I'd listened to it on the way home the other night and thought it was well worth listening to. Hope the kids had a nice Halloween...We used to have a lot of fun when our kids were small with the getting out and doing the door to door thing. :) Wish i'd carried a camera for some of the great ways people had set their doorways up for those nights.

Hope you are having a wonderful week!!! I can not see if the question was fixed because I already entered *LOL* I thought maybe they were trying to throw a bit of a loop in the questions *LOL*

Have a GREAT weekend...my Mom and Boyfriend will be here in a couple hours!!! Tomorrow he is going to meet the Children that Adopted him last year while in Iraq and sent him and his Unit goodies and such. I will get pictures *smiles*

Hi Angela, I know I am not on much, and don't have a lot of dialogue on here, but dropped in a few times this week and have to say, it was disappointing to see some of the behaviors. However, I have grown to like that 'ignore' button! I was reluctant to use it at first, but I do see its value more and more. I guess the worst part is if there are new comers, that they get the whole view...and it is really a dishonorable view at times, but what can you do? Anyway, thanks for that ignore button...it is coming in handy...because there are several folks on here that I think are quite fine! Cheers!

Hi Angela, well this is what it came down to.

I now have 2 profiles (LOL) still have all my friends/image galleries etc

BUT says I JUST joined Golo today AND my profile statement was gone. NO BIGGIE

Can you delete this one http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/6352686/

I'll stick with profile #6352687

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Enjoy your day and thanks!!

Hey, Angela. Do you know of more Trivia is forthcoming? (Entertainment section) I miss it. :-)

Angela - it would be nice if we could see the time that someone joined, as well as the date. If we knew that times that people were joining, we could tailor our welcome wagon blogs to hit the time that new people were looking at golo for the first time. Just a thought...thanks...

Thanks Angela for the display!

I got a nasty note from Salty...I did nothing to cause it. ok, I have opinions, have a nice day.

have you ever been to the Holly Day Fair? Was out there today, celebrating the anniversary of the day I met Grumpy Not in person and made an absolutely great friend, and wondered if you'd ever visited. You should. It's crowded, insane, but great fun.

Hope your weekend is a good one

I just received a e-mail from WRAL saying that I had been inapproprate with one of my blogs/comments but I don't have a clue which one was...

A)

It violated standards for online behavior outlined in our Terms of Service (available at http://www.wral.com/rs/page/1080092/).

B)

- It contained language or content that was uncivil or inappropriate (e.g., degrading, racist, crude, profane) or personally attacked another Web site visitor or WRAL staff member.

I can't find any of my recent comments or blogs missing, could you please elaborate or is someone flagging really old blogs/comments?

How can a reasonable person like Elcid get booted for no good reason, but other people are allowed to violate the TOS day in and day out? There is obviously something wrong with the system. If GOLO won't play by its own rules, then why should the rest of us?

Hi Angela *HUGS* And Thank You for your ever so sweet words!!! I do enjoy sharing!!! I hope you got to read the BLOG that went with the pictures...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6378686/

Gosh to see what the Soldiers see...a World of only 2 colors...no wonder. It really gave me a whole new outlook for sure. I would have never imagined one man can cause so much damage and hate for people to survive. I could not imagine someone taking my water supply away and not allow me to garden nor grow flowers and trees. Wow!!!

"I heard there's a good "heating" gel out there for things like that. Or so the commercial says. :) imyourhuckleberryIII GOLO member since March 15, 2009 November 9, 2009 3:57 p.m."

---------------------------------------------------------

Just thought you would want to see the HYPOCRICY.

Have a great day

Bwahahahahahaha!

well, a group of us went and our first stop was a wine tasting booth. So, any issues we had were soon far removed. Evidently there is a great winery no too far from Charlotte, who knew? Put us all in a great mood. I think they put those at the front for a reason, lol.

Angela...Why do people insist on wasting their time running to profiles of people they obviously do not like for the sole purpose of collecting useless information. The comments are not directed at the individuals doing the "reporting".

There are people in/on this forum that are going through rough times, losing family members to sickness, fighting cancer and other sickness, worrying about finances, losing their homes, losing beloved fur babies, unemployment and waiting for their soldiers to come home or sending them off to war...

Yet they focus on nonsense!!!!

Isn't that pathetic???

If they do not care for someone...PUT THEM ON IGNORE!!!!!!! And get a life! Life is precious...don't waste it!

Angela, bless your heart !

I seen a comment yesterday that made me crack up, Im sure you got a giggle out of it too about becoming a raging alcoholic :)

I just couldnt help but laugh! Keep up the good work. Your a smart Woman and I know your not blind!

Have a wonderful Tuesday :)

Hey Ang..just a little note to let ya know that i am NOT behaving today. Just a heads up.

i saw your name changed. i had to come check to make sure you didn't get promoted.

it looks like it's the same ole you.

Seriously consider what SlickRick suggested. A list cross-referencing all the multiple IDs to their main IDs (no need to give real names even) would solve a huge part of the drama on GOLO.

Obviously, it wouldn't solve all the political stuff, but it would solve the majority of the pettiness that goes on here. Plus if folks knew that they would be held accountable for their alternate profiles, they wouldn't be so willing to troll/harass other members.

Right now, it is a free for all out there. Someone make you mad? No profile, build a new profile and harass them. Log back in as your main character and shine your halo. Problem solved.

Please consider making people accountable for everything that they type--not just the stuff from their main account.

LOL--I also wish that GOLO had a way to proofread the whole post before publishing it. I always miss something in the little box but notice it AFTER I hit submit.

Fixed to make sense:

Someone make you mad? No *problem*, build a new profile and harass them. Log back in as your main character and shine your halo. Problem solved.

i second crocus's suggestion.

Thanks for putting the Book Club on the front page. I don't have a lot of time for it, but Lolly has been promoting the current Book, Mystic River. Do you have time to read it?

What happened to Dollysickles?

And why the name change?

" Also, whenever there is a "new" me, you won't be confused."

hey...stop talking like that!

I also agree with Crocus but have something to add...

Use the same idea for those that are CONSTANTLY booted and are unable to go back to their "main" profile. They are easily identified because they never change. Just the name changes...the rest remains the same. Friends, tone and mental incapacity to be nice to others.

It's funny how half the people who whine about being trolled haven't been trolled. And I stand firm that those that cry the loudest about trolls, troll themselves.

Here's a good one - 3 guesses who it is, the first two don't count!

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/5753395/

Angela - I have a suggestion: I suggest you post a pic of a mirror on your profile. There sure are some folks standing up on soapboxes acting high and mighty that KNOW they are an active part of the sandbox problem currently infesting Golo ...yet on and on those mouths do run.

Hmmmm, when you hang the Mirror maybe you could dispense some virtual Pepto Bismol to help some out with the Verbal Diarrhea running out their mouth and through their fingers to the keyboard. Maybe between the Mirror and the Pepto Golo could get some relief :-)

It's your new day - make it what you will!

Do you ever just want to take your profile private? Bless ya heart. Big ((((((hugs))))))))

Just put us all on Ignore or Block! LOL! {{{{{Angela}}}}}

Hi Angela, I saw your blog on "personal responsibitity" from yesterday. I for one, appreciate all the hard work put in by you and your staff. I also marvel at your patience with this community as well as your desire to serve this community. You've tirelessly worked to provide technology upgrade after upgrade and don't receive enough thanks so .... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

hey Angela, I thought I'd stop by and say hey. You should hang out a sign that says "Romper Room" on your profile

Have a great night

Hiya...

Just wanted to say I thought Innocent Bystanders "get a life" blog so deserved the front page....GoLo at it's sarcastic, loving best :)

Man I thought you were having a party over here since you have been on the "Most Popular" list for 2 days straight and forgot to invite me *smiles*

Okay so now I know there is no party...I am selecting you as "GOLO's Most Stalked Person" *wink*

Have a GREAT One Lady!!! Keep Smiling!!!

Hi! How are things going with you?

you know whoever was driving that car that crashed into the wall was just looking for a GOLO interview and you'd been turning 'em down for months now. you could have avoided the whole drama by just giving them the interview

Hey Angela, Just wanted to let you know that through the efforts of GOLO I was able to send my son, 82nd Airborne, Afghanistan, 100 packs of beef jerky. He said it was hard to find over there. I mentioned it in a blog and it snowballed into a ground swell of donations, thanks to Sandra, Lolly, and Gingerleigh, as well as other GOLOers that donated. Gingerleigh used her military credentials to buy the jerky at Fort Bragg. She's so awesome. Zack said he would hide his stash and hand it out at church this Sunday. But anyhow I just wanted you to know that GOLO is doing good things, so don't get discouraged by the trolls. We love you!

For you or GOLO? Or both? ROFL.

Have a great weekend, Angela!!!

The trolls are so far beneath you. I don't understand why so many GOLOers object to someone monitoring the site to keep it decent. After all, WRAL is responsible for it's content. They have a reputation to uphold, a very good one at that. Keep up the good work Angela and if you ever need an "atta girl" just e-mail me and I'll be there. And if you ever need someone to stand up for you to your superiors, I've got your back.

Hey Angela,just wanted to stop in and wish you a nice weekend.

I thought you might enjoy my slightly warped sense of humor but that is the thought that immediately came to mind

hi there sweetness, I hope you are doing good. ((((((HUGS)))))

Hey Angela! Another feel good story for you. I'm getting ready to post a blog about our beef jerky drive. THE END RESULT!! YES! Love ya!!!! Love GOLO!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/6424561/

Angela, Golden's blog is front page material. The troops spray painted a sign that says "thank you golo"

"Hmmmm, when you hang the Mirror maybe you could dispense some virtual Pepto Bismol to help some out with the Verbal Diarrhea running out their mouth and through their fingers to the keyboard. Maybe between the Mirror and the Pepto Golo could get some relief :-)

It's your new day - make it what you will! Feisty R Diva - Cowgirl Up"

Wow, think that's the first post I've seen that wasn't all about "me, I, Life is so good, I'm so busy I'm never on golo, work is kicking, I love god, blah blah blah."

Funny how it shows up when some make posts, yet claim to never be on here? hmmmm

Sorry, just shining the mirror in the direction it needed to be shone. :)

Thanks for all you do,

Sincerely,

Your #1 Fan.

:)
