My wife's masters thesis had *something* to do with the book "All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten". One of the basic tenants of that book is simply do unto others. Simple in theory, sometimes difficult to implement, but always worth it.
I am sure everything will go right for you today!
I was in Columbus, OH, last year to spend a few days with my son when he had four wisdom teeth extracted. I drove him home after oral surgery and he was still feeling the effects of anesthesia and we took a couple of extra turns ... he was confused and embarrassed that we were going the "wrong way" on the freeway.
I told him there is no "wrong way" in direction ... it was just an alternate route that took us to the same destination. Just like life. Sometimes we make decisions or judgments that are ill advised ... they are not "wrong turns," just different ways of getting places we need to be.
I've learned a lot from quietly watching the war unfold. The battles, the he-says, she-says. The *meaning* where there is no meaning. The hurts, the pains. Wow. All that drama.
It all made me realize why I blog. I blog for the consumer, to increase my business and in the process meet some wonderful industry colleagues in the process. The blog wars showed me, very clearly, how easy it is to lose sight of this fundamental goal.
I applaud you for the integrity and character you have displayed in the process and also in moving forward with the positives!
Onwards and upwards!!!! Now lets sell some houses and get some loans!
Eschewing the negative is key; being vigilant for wrong factual information is practically necessary for any company-or presence-on the web.
I had an experience where we received an excellent endorsement for our new products from a leading blog, and within two hours of the posting wrong information appeared about how our products could not be used and utilized at the same blog the endorsement came from.
The wrong information came from commentors.
The information they sought is freely available on the web.
I was able - and had to- step in with the right information.
There is a difference; it is hard to know what to do sometimes.
BLog on,

It would be good if you could keep a regular list of things you're shunning and things you're keeping in touch with? Might guide others?
It is difficult to ignore, but it must be done.
@Kerion - Interesting idea. Personal attacks is really my only shun. Attack the idea or concept at full bore, I'm OK with that. Personal attacks? Stupid and pointless.
@Steve - agreed, One must watch out for wrong factual info.
@EVERYONE - *thanks* to all for all the support in this latest round of "Real Estate Blog Wars"...
Be strong.
Well said...I had a conversation with a REALTOR about that this morning. Focus must be on building and not tearing down.
Thanks much for being some bandwidth worth reading. Regularly.
I just subscribed.

Wishing I was in Phoenix selling homes with you right now, it has been so cold in Chicago lately! At least you always have the weather going for you! :)
Moreover: "Hatred can never be cured by hatred. It can only be cured by love." So by focusing on the positive you are a Bodhisatva. Bet you didn't even know it! :)
I always scored better on writing than on reading comprehension. :)
