What can I do to change my image here on DU?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I have a great reputation with some, and a lousy one with others. :shrug: Part of my problem is I call bullshit when I see it. Maybe it's a Northeast thing...what is rude to other parts of the country is acceptable behavior here. I try to be helpful and supportive to my fellow Lounge Lizards though.

I have never cared much what others think, but I don't in general offend people. I work in sales, and part of my success has stemmed from my ability to adapt and form trust with prospects/clients very easily. This doesn't always translate to a message board unfortunately.

Some of you may want to cultivate a bad ass rep, but I'd like to cultivate an angelic one. O8) O8) O8)

[havocmom]

24. Hey, can we find a bullshit smilie?

I found one for excrement hitting the ventilating device, but one with a bull would be good too.

[Misunderestimator]

30. There's this...

Not quite what you're looking for...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

[Misunderestimator]

22. Meh... What do you care? I love you, that's all that matters.

:D :yourock: :loveya:

And it's the calling bullshit that makes you so endearing... :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

[Misunderestimator]

28. People who are liked by everyone...

are not very interesting... :)

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

23. Don't you dare.

You're one of the best at confronting them when they come over here. Calling bullshit anything else is a disservice to bullshit. (Okay, that makes no sense.)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. I gently ask questions

that they are unable to answer. ;-)

[Misunderestimator]

29. *gently*

:spray: Yeah... um.... me too! :)

[crispini]

27. Try posting this at the end of every post...

O8)

I don't see you as having a bad rep fwiw, but if you think it's the "calling bullshit" that's getting you a bad rep, then try calling bullshit with a little extra tact? :shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. Be kinder to trolls. Welcome them to DU

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. Take their sides in arguments to make them feel even more welcome
