Arrogance.

Imprudent question…..”Why are you blogging like that”?

Thoughtless statement….”Stop blogging like that”!

“Excuse me…. Why are you imposing yourself on others?

I get taken by the arrogant people who suggest “there's a right way to blog”. Arrogant people feel good when they make others feel bad. It seems diverting attention away from themselves by shown-n up others; it keeps their mind off their own problems.

Blogging should be very individual, as long as the blogger complies with all rules, the blogger should be allowed to blog in their own style. It’s up to the individual reader to decide!

“Be positive, it's about leaping with a faith of trust & acting on what you believe making it materialize"

I agree, Jon. I try to follow Zig Ziglar's advice when he says arrogance is a strange disease, it makes everyone sick except the person who has it.

Jon, You are so right! Arrogance sometimes seems to be a prerequisite for some groups -- 'nough said! Thanks for bringing it out into the open.

I couldn't agree more Jon. I recently made a blog post about getting a home sold before I could get the inside pictures done and got blasted by an agent with a "What" Shame on you for not getting the pictures first, I always get them when I , bla,bla,bla"

Good for you! Did you ever think there might be a reason I couldn't get the picures yet? Like remodeling, or paint, or ???

Self promoting yourself on my blog. Nice.

Think of it this way, God gave us 1 mouth to talk, 2 ears to listen and 10 fingers to hit the delete button! Wow, talk about forethought when he/she was creating the human!

Jon, I refused to blog for the longest time till I found ActiveRain. The blogs I had found that interested me would have an honest question posed and some jerk would get on and make the person asking the question look like a fool for asking it. I've always believed that we should just answer the question as it is typically important to the person asking it. I looked in on that other blog again and it is still going on. Outrageous in my opinion.
