Blog posts tend to pick up a lot of garbage comments. One thing I really dislike about ActiveRain is the lack of comment moderation. Blog posts tend to pick up a lot of garbage comments.

There's more new for me "out in the light". :) That's why I like RCG so much. I get to hear how IT IS from REAL people and not just internal industry regurgitation of same old, same old. In Active Rain, I seek out how the people in there who are outside of industry, in related industries, see things. Though I did run by my drain issue with Carol from Wenatchee just to test my sanity! Carole,

No argument on that at all - ultimately the consumer side is the bread and butter; although for me, the learning of methodology or at least being exposed to others methods of working their careers, is something I like. It may not be for you, I understand that completely. I agree Ardell, then it either has to be of good purpose to you or not.

If agents blog for each other, I just don't get the point. If you have to write in a manner that pleases agents to "make it there" (though I do think Frank is right...if I CAN make it there I CAN make it "anywhere" LOL) From my perspective, the MAIN reason to blog at all is so that Buyer Consumers start getting things, like the fact that they may be getting ripped off :) or treated badly with a smiile. Those kind of topics are NOT going to make agents happy...better in the long run...but not happy while the change takes place. It's not about popularity for me...it's about purpose. Hi Carole,

You are a talented blogger, you should do whatver the hell you want wherever you want, and everyone else be damned. I mean that! All we can do is be ourselves. 12,000 people on AR there are bound to be some nutcases. (I prefer to think of myself as eccentric lol) As for commenting to get points? BS. I comment (and know many who are like me) when I read a post and want to comment. I comment when I go in to read a friend or associates post ONLY when I think I have something to say - the bullshit is getting tiring and I do hope you know that you are as vaulable in AR as anyone else. Yeah I know I don't have to tell you that, but I did anyway. I get so tired of hearing people pontificate anywhere and on any blog forum just because of their own hidden agendas. You seem straight from the hip, I like that. I dont even care if you like me, I like you. Im done lol Ardell, pardon me for being blunt but I am going to be.

Hope you like it...you may not. I will post it here and not in Active Rain...for sure. Erik,

I love your take on real estate and I completely agree with it. Do you have anyone in your network in Vancouver that you refer business to? I would love to send you referrals from my neck of the woods. You have my vote on AR. Erik Ardell,

Dustin, I believe, after reading Brian Bradys blog that apparently a lot of bloggers on AR are not even real! I have totally missed the boat. I should have had 12 personas and commented on myself!

And at least two of those seven are mean and nasty and there's no way I'm "aligning" myself with them. Maybe I'll have to be number eight so people have someone else to "align" with. Correct, Karen.
