layton Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 did i spell infamy right? Ever wonder how many people 1. actually read this garbage 2. could recognize your "avatar" (or name as in my case) 3. could recognize your picture 4. have based opinions about your true character based on what you write as your "avatar"? Does this ever concern you? I have been spotted or overheard my name on several occasions, and know of at least two people who i have never met but dislike me. I can't say i'm too hurt if someone is stupid enough to base an opinion on someone based on what they write on the internet. So do you guys and gals have any estimates on the #'s involved on those questions? for example I've had posts with over 3000 views and a couple photos with around 1400 views. Combine that with around 2000 posts and that's a hell of a lot of people viewing what i write. Shit there's even people from IL, NJ, CA, AK, etc. regularly posting on this site. Quote
layton Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 p.s. buy from my website www.cafeshops.com/alpinist Quote
Dru Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I have been spotted or overheard my name on several occasions, and know of at least two thousand people who i have never met but dislike me. And at least 1,000 of them are chix... you ever wonder why you are single Quote
Dru Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 since allison changed her user name to marylou for the same reasons you mention, you could switch from mike_layton to allison, no one's using that name currently. Quote
layton Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 i'll wait until the lawsuits start coming once I'm a doc. Quote

EWolfe Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I have had two people think I don't like them because of what I posted. I pretty much like everyone I have met. Quote
olyclimber Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 So who the hell is this"Michael_Layton"? Lets hear the story. Quote
layton Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 I was born a small black child in Mississippi... Quote
sk Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 mikey...everyone loves you. specialy me seriously though... does it matter what other people think? Quote
layton Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 Muffy, i think the point of my post is beign seriously missed. I think I stated that I don't really care if someone doesn't like what I wrote. The point was how many people know who you are by posting on this website. I gave examples relating to me for illustation.... Quote
Off_White Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I was born a small black child in Mississippi... Its amazing how many people have not seen The Jerk, and boy do they give you strange looks when you say this. (I usually phrase it "I was born a poor black child" but memory, ahh, umm, who knows?)

It really should be required viewing for all school children. Layton, are you responsible for these? Quote

The point was how many people know who you are by posting on this website. I gave examples relating to me for illustation.... I guess I think about it diffeently.. I want a shirt that says MUFFY in the back and CC.COM on the front so I can where it when I climb. I like to be recognized.so yes I have sort of thought about it, but more in the "why don't all thease fools KNOW WHO I AM" Quote
layton Posted June 9, 2004 Author Posted June 9, 2004 what type of shirt. I have lots of different types (from hooded sweatshirts to girly-fru-fru shit). check out my site and tell me which kind you'd like. How 'bout a Muffy thong? Quote
layton Posted July 5, 2004 Author Posted July 5, 2004 So I'm parking the General at the fairhaven red apple to buy some PBR to enhance the fireworks display and some dude with crazy yellow hair and bloodshot eyes is staring at me from his Subaru. For a minute I think it is my friend Eric strung out on heroine or just back from guiding. Anyway, the dude stops and says, "Hey! Aren't you that guy from cascadeclimbers.com?" Quote

Now we know where you shop. Listen up everyone, Mike Layton ambush bivy at the Red Apple tonight! Here's me contemplating the fame/infamy of Michael Layton on the summit of Adams yesterday. Unfortunately we didn't bring enough PBR to attain His holy level of alpine transcendence. What would ML do? Quote
