For this month's contest, I re-read the Community Guidelines.
I believe in these guidelines. I like them. I honor them, and I've e-met a lot of you who also honor them.
I don't have a whole lot to say about them, but I would like to share a few impressions.
First, I have yet to see a Fair Housing violation on AR. Now, there must be a few of those somewhere, sometime, but I read a fair number of posts, even if I don't comment on every single one I read, and I'm almost surprised, in retrospect, that no FH issues have ever popped up at me.
I'm pretty sensitive to that in MLS listings. It happens all the time there! (And nothing ever gets done about it, either!)
Second, I am very, very happy to have a place outside of my office and my corporate firm where I can voice my opinions and listen to yours without a lot of judgment or hate mail. Okay, no hate mail, and just a little bit of judgment! (You judgers know who you are! Kidding [names omitted to protect the guilty]!)
Lastly, it occurs to me that most everyone who posts regularly on here leads by example and posts from the spirit of the Weltanshauung without needing a lecture or even re-reading the principles. They really are common sense, but that is a quality often sorely in short supply in our modern, atomized and somewhat anonymous e-world.
So I'm really proud, honored and glad to be part of our community, even though all it took to join was a subscription. Also, let's face it, it's nice to have part of my daily work be noticed and commented on by someone (!), even if I can't be sure my ultimate clients are going to notice!
Joy be.
