i dont buy into peoples "board persona", hell on some boards i am one and i bet some people on those boards dont do business with me due to this and i couldnt care less.

If i need to do business with someone who is an ass on the boards i normally test the water over the phone or on icq and if they are "normal" people when talking to them that way we can do business - if they are also an ass on the phone or icq we dont do business with them..

but never turned down business due to someones "board persona" alone - there is always a bit more too it when i dont do business with people
