In short ... WTF???
Why are there people who purposely cultivate negative board personas? What's the advantage in pissing people off, in making people not want to do business with you? Why do they do it?

i think its BS. its like saying "he's a nice guy until he starts drinking" or something like that. everything you do and say is a reflection of who you are and how you want others to percieve you. boards give people the opportunity to be a little bolder just as alcohol might losen inhibitions and effect judgement and of course there can be missunderstandings and people judged incorrectly, but when its a pattern that exists over a couple of years or more, its also who they are.
everyones a nice guy at a show where they need to kiss ass and try to get some business done while facing the music for being an ass on the boards.
my two cents.
(hiding to see if nick stops and picks them up)
a simple test is asking yourself how often do you think that some of the shit someone said on a board would actually be said to the individuals face? boards are safe and people behave differently.
