Fact is... our CBBB is just a snapshot of society. Some folks get along, some folks don't.
Some folks think others are jerks and just keep it to themselves, some folks call it out loud and proud.
My 'persona' on the board is the same as it is off the board. The people I like, I treat with respect and I joke with them. The people I don't like, I either try to ignore/avoid, or I say what's on my mind.
Personally, I have never said anything about adroomi's employment. I don't know what he does and I don't care. I know who he works for, but not in what capacity. Again, I don't care.
I give adroomi a hard time occasionally because he is the guy that has done everything you have. And he's done it better, faster, with a prettier woman, a nicer car, a bigger house... etc. I don't know about anyone else, but I've met people like that in real life. You can only listen for so long before you throw the bull**** flag.
I agree with JJ. He brings most of it on himself. I also agree with pepperhill... we choose to act the way we act. But I, for one, had been pretty civil to adroomi for quite some time, even talked with him over the phone and shared e-mails. But as I said, you can only listen to the stories for so long before it's an insult to your intelligence.
I have no doubt he travels Asia. I have no doubt he has 'career women' friends. I also have no doubt that he embellishes the living **** out of most stories he tells and that he has caroused with 'working women' (not that there's anything wrong with that).
I prefer to associate with REAL people. I am who I am here and in real life. And you can ask any number of the SoCal folks I associate with regularly.
