Hardly for me to check my earned points. I am just farting my thoughts in AR. Who cares about points? But, today Jay invited me to join his political group so that I went to check other fields in "my home." It surprised me that my most recent 3 articles has been removed their points since 2 weeks ago. This is the first time I encounter this episode.
No idea for what's going on. The only thing I know of is I hate to play an unfair game under the rules unfairly set by others. Since I am an individualist and naturalist, I love freedom and hate to do "confrontation." Life is too short to mingle with something unpleasant; or to make this already miserable world more miserable.
So I left my inputs of reply to John, the CEO of AR in his blog above as follows:
To Linda, Pat, Steven and all of you:
I am with you.
All most recent 3 articles of mine are being treated the same way as yours. Points are removed without a clear explanation, just saying "view guidelines" in which I don't see anything specifically related and applied. I really don't care about points. What good is it for me? Can I use it to buy a pack of VERY EXPENSIVE cigarette without the recent Congress tax hike? No way, Jose!
Well, so that's fine with me. However, I just realize that talking or socializing in AR doesn't make things happen. I have no intention in attracting business to me or marketing a plan to profit myself. So, I'd better leave AR and save me some time in "farting" my love of our people or feelings about the surroundings here.
Ready to go out alone doing something workable about my dream: help the poor folks or little guys to have an affordable housing.
(NOTE: I just accepted two students.
2 weeks ago, Coldwell Banker's real estate agent Shanna and her husband Steve asked me to meet when they knew I plan to leave Texas this end of April. Now, I am doing my free intensive "mentor" to guide them step by step to understand the "distressed real estate market." Shanna has been working in real estate as an agent for 2 years or more. She helped me buying one piece of REO property and highly regarded my very profitable investment strategy, that created 500% return rate in the case which she got her little commission check.
Nobody knows better than her for how much I paid for the property and how much I sold it. She is not surprised how many little guys line up to buy my properties. But, she would be very surprised if she could talk to my buyers and see how happy they are. One of them is a mechanic. Knowing I am leaving, he volunteers to check and fix my old Mercedes 560 to make sure I have a safe long trip to California. That's what kind of people I love so much; but being ignored and mistreated by our government.
I am just wondering if a small poor guy with very limited source like me can help some of those little guys to easily and happily have a very affordable housing, why those big brothers and sisters like Tim Gaithner or Sheila Bair can't?
It is much more rewarding to my knowledge when they came to me for help knowing what they are short of, eager to learn my investment recipe by driving one hour to buy me a lunch and show their appreciation for what I put in my blog in AR. Besides being so honored and the lunch I ate, the most important qualities of them is I can see their desire to help other little folks in our society that makes me feel the need to teach them everything I know.)
Take care of yourselves. Wish you all good.

Ed, Don't give up. Call Bob Stewart at ActiveRain. He is very nice and easy to talk to. He can either explain why your points were removed or maybe find that it was a mistake and restore your points. I only looked at one of your posts where the points were removed and it doesn't seem to be plagiarized. ~All the best.
