Let's Take the Cotton Out of Our Ears and Put in Our Mouths

One of the things I like the most about Active Rain is the diversity and the way you can learn from others in our field. I love to see blogs that have competing ideas, it just kind of makes me sit back and think about what is right and what is wrong.  After all, I have only been in the real estate industry for a little over 6 years. It makes me look at someone else’s opinion and weigh it’s merits and and it’s fault’s and then choose a side or maybe even offer a totally different idea.  

Today I made a comment on someones blog that differed from what that person was saying and they removed it. Don’t get me wrong, they have every right to do so, I and I have done the same for much different reasons.  I just find it funny in an odd way to be muted without rebuttal or comment to sway my opinion one way or the other.

And that my friends, is what is wrong with our country... Everyone is trying to be heard, but no one is listening. Just remember, we have two ears and only one mouth, therefore we should listen twice as much as we talk.

I agree Mr. Frank.  I haven't ran into this as of yet on AR, but have confronted issues posted in people's statuses on facebook.  My comment removed and I am defriended.

Because I choose not to be as tolerant, or remain silent while others shout from the roof tops, some say I am being judgemental.  My attempt is to present my opposition in a tasteful way.  I think this represents your character and many times moral fortitude.

One of the great things about the Internet is the stimulation of conversation, and the sharing of thoughts and ideas.  That includes Blogging (ActiveRain), Photo Sharing (Flickr), Video Sharing (YouTube, Vimeo), and Updates about your Life or Business (Twitter, Facebook).

But when you Delete or Block someone who disagrees with you, it is like China or Iran censoring the News.

It is destructive to Human Conversation, it stifles the Free Flow of Ideas, and it destroys relationships that you might have achieved through Blogging and Social Media. 

Granted, you don't want profanity, personal attacks, violations of Federal Fair Housing Laws, spam, etc.  But to Delete a comment or to Block a Poster, just because they have a different opinion on the matter, is a bad decision.  You will soon have no Followers, no Fans, no Subscribers, and no Comments on your Blog.
