blonde poker forum

Recently I've been wondering about what kind of impression I give off on this site.  People who know me in real life know I have a pretty dry sense of humour.  However, on here I've found myself several times over the past few months being totally misinterpreted when adding what, in my mind, are 'humourous' comments to posts, and having to explain, backtrack etc which is a headache!  What is concerning me now is all the times when those posts maybe haven't been picked up on publicaly/replied to etc, but that people might have got an impression of me as being a real arsehole. 

I know I probably shouldn't really worry about it, but ultimately I'm afraid I do care what people think of me!

So I'm just curious I guess.  Am I being paranoid or do I need to adapt my posting style to make sure I fully explain any nuances I might be trying to convey?

Paranoid. I've always thought you were fun......never got an impression any other way  8)

Dont worry claw, I think we are all misinterpreted at times. There are some very sensitive readers on blonde, and whilst I am inclined to say over-sensitive, the medium of text does little to convey all those tells which are so important in conversation to guage a persons intention and manner.

I've never found you anything but bubbly and humourous and I don't think you have anything to worry about. There are far worse culprits for putting their feet into it around here and coming across as an arsehole where it was never intended to be.

You are fine on the forum, it's how people think of you at the tables that you have to be worried about  :D

Sometimes things do get misinterpreted, but if you start to worry you end up not posting. Don't worry about, I don't.  
 :)up

keep on keeping on (as the saying goes)

:goodpost: ;iagree;

KJ pfft! :D

thats what i think, ive always enjoyed your posts.

Yep , I agree with Dingdell and Bolt.  No need to worry Claire

Don't be silly Claw.

You have things to say that are interesting and relevent and contribute to that which is Blonde as much as anyone.

Your Banter with Mikky over the last few days is a prime example - and you have both managed to bring a smile to my face lots of times over the last few days - something which under current circumstances has been a welcome relief.

Now bugger off and practice your Heads Up.

What are you trying to say Claw?

  Just carry on being yourself Claw.It's what blonde is all about.

  If any of us step out of line we are soon told,so don't worry about it.If you adjust the style of your posts on here then it's not the real you posting.

Always like reading your posts to Claw  :)

Stop being silly, yer daft bint!

Keep on posting as you post.

claw if i would you i would lighten up your posts as i cant read any humour in them











































joking

thanks everyone - ignore me - I'm a bit hormonal today I think.  Should be right as rain again in approximately 5-7 days!

How do you make a hormone?






















Don't pay her! Boom boom!

Claire hun

don't fret yersen.

you know you've hit jackpot when TE calls you "bitch" to your
face the first time he meets you.  Anything less would have been
an insult as far as I'm concerned.

LMFAO

I'm come across as a complete cow most of the time, I prefer to
keep people guessing as to whether I'm joking or not.

Those that I care about know me well enough by now to know the difference,
and those that don't - who cares!

Happy posting.

is that the sound of your kneecaps being blown off when her pimp catches up with you?!

thanks Trace :)

claw

hope my post on theladies footie  thread didnt prompt this topic lol

if it did im sorry i just thought you were misinterpreting what i put.

as you said the joys of the written word!! :D

This is an example of Claw's sweet sense of humour  :D

claw

i feel the same. ive put a few posts on that have caused a reaction but never intended them to be taken that way. i really enjoy your posts. you are very good humoured and fair. if you see someone getting a hard time, you have a nice balanced appraoch to challenging it. i wouldnt want to see you change your style because thats who you are and what we enjoy.

keep it up

mad  :D

well yes, it did prompt it to an extent, but only because it's the latest of a few similar responses I've had to my posts!!  Absolutely no need to apologise though - we sorted it all out in the end I think?!?!

Claw, sort your shit out love.  ;tk;

 rotflmfao

your great claire.

lay off the pot it makes you paranoid you know.

haha - yes Tank.

Ace2M -  :o

Message to Team Silo, one of your team is cracking up under the strain. Maybe you should drop out of the Heads Up in case it get's any worse!  :D

Perhaps this is all a cunning ruse to lull all you inferior teams into a false sense of security....

Yes, very. :-*

Claire

I love your posts.

Enough said!!!

anyone up for 3 card brag

can't wait!!  I am going to spend the next five weeks thinking of a 'witty' and 'off the cuff' retort!

it wont matter cos i wont hear cos il be too pissed to hear after a shot every 2 hands with londonpokergirl and alpha  :D

blimey is that nause going on again!!??

Just read this thread, I am rather suprised.

Claw is one of those people that is always very friendly to me and others, cant say I have ever seen you make a comment I found slighty off. She is everything Blonde stands for, someone having fun with poker, participating in the community and supporting others in all aspects :) dont change.

That's Alfa btw!!  lol

He hasn't indicated that he's going.
