[Closed] On-line persona of the year awards, 2011

Who is CFH?

[url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/oi-flashy-or-someone-recommend-a-nice-pub-near-victoria-coach-station-please ]The main prag 😉 [/url]

All I've got to say on this matter, right, is that if you go on a forum what's main aim is to help MTBers network for bike rides and stuff, then surely you should be up for meeting up with others? Otherwise, what's the point?

I've met well over wunundred people off here, almost all have bin lovely in Real Life, and some are even proper good friends of mine! There's people off here whattuv shown incredible kindness, selflessness and altruism. Threads like the recent balance bike one where they made a bike for a young lad, are simply incredible, and very humbling.

I have no real 'persona' to hide behind, cos too many people know what I'm actually like! Proper flawed.

I just don't get insincere, false and charlatanistic behaviour on a social networking forum. Why?

The bigger the lie, the harder it is to keep up the pretence.

One day, right, someone might actually call your bluff.

Preps best to make sure you've actually got cards that're worth playing...

PMSL @ Fred 😆

Glad I've amused you Zokes. Good to know I'm reaching out across the Globe. 😀

Zokes; email me, innit son? 😉

*Chortles*

I think there are too many to single out, of all types, i did start a list initially as a gag then as an aide memoir to remind me who to steer clear of, (left wing cocks etc) CFH did make it onto the good guys bit I note along with 31 others, trouble is you can never remember who made you laugh most and why, so it's tough to call, easier to highlight the dickheads.. (only 5 of them so far)

I don't think CFH has ever been seen however once one realises he is a pantomime figure then his contributions are amusing and interesting much of the time.

When I lived in London I met and went riding with CFH on several occasions.

He (assumption) never shows the wealth he aspires to

I don't know what this means, nor what it's meant to mean, nor how either could be a positive.

It's not at all clear his persona is a joke either.

Oh joy, al has piped up

What, you don't understand that the thread is a touch tongue in cheek & bit of a laugh at CFH's expense? Really? I thought it obvious that I have admiration for the man (and I do) 🙂

Cheers.

I could show you pics, but I would have to kill you afterwards.

And the first person to say elfin gets it...

Elfin.

Et tu, Woppit.... 😉

The thing about people who present exaggerated personas is that whenever they are called on it, they tend to go rather quiet. Perhaps because they realise that keeping up the pretence in Real Life is actually impossible.

I mean, if I were to go to meet a group of other STWers for a beer, I'd make sure I actually met them, rather than sit in a corner of a pub on my own, looking over at the group of people who were actually able to introduce themselves to one another, then leave without announcing who I was....

And I'd I'd said I was going to join folk on rides, I might actually turn up once in a while, rather than making excuses about why I coon't come....

I think the problem is, that some folk have personas that live 'beyond their means'; the persona is far bigger than the real person. There's only so much Internet Credit you can rely on. One day you might actually have to meet other people, and ittud be proper embarrassing if they all found out that you aren't actually who you've pretended to be, I'd imagine.

I wonder why people feel the need to present an exaggerated, idealised version of themselves? Insecurity, inadequacy and low self-esteem, perhaps? [i]Here's who I want to be, who I want others to see me as, rather than who I actually am.[/i]

Hey ho. Spose some people need that outlet. Good thing the internet exists, eh?

Many folk project what they want to be on here I have no idea if the Cpt is one of them tbh

I find it sad that some people can only be themselves when anonymous on the internet as their real self is somewhat odious and would be disliked and /or hit a lot in the real world ad they are just full of hate and rage...there are way to many to name of those on here.
Also those who just want a reaction or to annoy someone for personal thrills...dead easy to do but very sad ...I just hope they are mainly youngsters who need to grow up but I doubt it

It's OK, I've found one of them

I was disappointed with hora, binners, nbt and Bregante. Nowhere near as sexy as I'd hoped. 😐

imagine my surprise when I discovered that it wasn't a forum designed to get likeminded people meeting up with others, but was, in fact, about dogs!!!

No way??!?! 😮

Incroyable, as they say in Margate....

You've just smashed my dreams with one small post 🙁

Ah sheet dude. I'm sorry. 🙁

True though. Sad.

I think you built yer hopes up rather too much if you expected some Northerners to be 'sexy', Bravissimo. 😐

if there was a serial name changer who hid their public schooling with a fake street talk and whose main contribution was their own distorted opinion on life it would be them, no contest...

....good job there's no-one like that who posts here

Effin, I was hoping for a gruff, rough'n'ready sexiness...perhaps improving with each passing pint. I possibly could have copped off with nbt as we were headed for home but to be honest, I'd have needed another pint.

As ever, I'm the last to spot these posters. 😐

S'okay DD I can still dream about you...

I agreed with one thing that captaincashfart said on the other thread, besides that he comes across as an odious ****

Where is the STW clubhouse that you all meet up at?
Can I come along to the next AGM? I think we need a new committee.

seconded

If my online persona (a mediocre, snippy pedant) is a projection of what I want to be, then I should just give up now! 😆

It's not just me reading this and shaking my head sadly then?

It's almost enough to make me do some work.

if some people find a little catharsis by inventing an online persona then i don't see a problem in that.

This is all very interesting, but where's the "it" that I was supposed to get for nominating Effin?

@ Woppit, Your it, now chase me big boy! 😉

I am what I am, and what I am needs no excuses...an all that jazz.

tbf I wouldn't want to meet CFH, because if he isn't exactly as his username suggests I would just be extremely disappointed and never able to watch blackadder in the same way ever again

Strange that the mods have let this thread through the net when it seems to be primarily aimed at bullying one forum member. Thankfully, CFH strikes me as someone who has the capability to handle it.

Perhaps that forum member hasn't gone crying to the mods about it?

Ah - that'll be it I suppose 😆

I have stated my love of his on-line persona, so no malice from me as the OP. What it deteriorates into I have no control over, it's an internet forum after all, but emma has put into words what I wanted to say far better than I did. CFH has a truely great on-line persona, I hope he really is as good in the real world 🙂

Cheers.

someone who seems to get a bit more admiration than is the sum of his posts.

🙄

All I'm saying is everyone assumes him to be a wealthy toff, wouldn't it be great if he was a northerner on the dole or something, I mean he has been about for as long as I can recall & always been value for money. All I mean is that no one ever seems to know him in real life, quite different to most that have been on the forum for years.

Cheers.
