My Craig's List issues won't seem to die. I awoke this morning to several new comments in my inbox on a subject that seems to have been revived from Part 1 and Part 2 of my venting on flag happy people on Craig's List.

Last night it looked like someone decided to to bring their anti-Realtor battle to my Active Rain blog (comments in part 1), via what I call "drive by" commenting. Apparently I am too dimwitted to understand that CL is apparently only for the little guy and non-commercial people. And then there was the usual excerpt from the TOS that was meant to back up their claim.

I left my own follow up comment there, but really, I can tell them the same thing over and over about how my agents ads have never violated the TOS, blah, blah, blah. They will never really listen or understand. For someone who calls me out as dimwitted, they fail to research and understand the facts and only look foolish themselves. Quoting that same TOS passage over and over again does not help them as there are so many holes in that argument, it's not funny.

So they want to bring their battle to Active Rain?  I haven't the time to waste on this, but if Smitty is brave enough to engage the AR community, good luck with that.

Unfortunately Craig's List was not worth the harassment and time spent to keep reposting for my clients in the Santa Fe market area, and have since moved on to using only Backpage.com. We still us CL for other market areas, but Santa Fe CL is hopeless.

Craig's List is for anyone who wants to use it! There are all kind of business people using it.  You have to love how some people do not want realtors to use Craig's List but think nothing wrog with paying $195 to have their home put in the local multiple listing service.
