Throwback Thursdays…Market Reports, Listings, and Comments.

Nice post Kathy. I think (especially when it comes to business posts), we need to make sure we do not hurt anyone who is a member of this community (either personally or professionally). 

Absolutely Kathy, Sharing a negative comment on someone else's blog or feedback may not be the best approach!

The one thing I have loved about ActiveRain, is for the most part it is devoid of the antagonism that seems to proliferate on other social media platforms.  I'm grateful for that!

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Hello Miss Kathy Streib - What I am increasingly experiencing is just moving on.

Some people are so toxic and nasty I do not even want to see their photo let alone read what they have to say. 

I attribute much of this to people being angry and divided over many things. 

My mother said the same thing ... if you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.  As you know, I do not always adopt that advice. 😜

Top of the morning Kathy.  For as hard as I am laughing this could have gone under 'Friday Funnies' as well.  Not the post but the 1st example of comments to listing photo's.  While possibly true, the obvious definitely need not be stated, if anything stated at all.  Thank you for the early 'Friday Funny'.  Mark 

Not long ago, one of our blogger friends got very upset when I deleted one of her negative comments. She no longer comments on my posts.

This is excellent advice, Kathy. I've been subjected to a string of nasty comments by an AR member. At some point it was so bad I told Bob Stewart it was me or him who stayed on this platform. There was not room for both of us.

Hi Kathy Streib - I can say I don't think I have seen any negative posts either on my own blog or on other members blogs. Of course, I don't always read every comment. But the comments I have read have always been supportive.  However,  this information is important to post to keep it in our thought process.  

I would add one thing, if the blog writer has grammar or spelling issues in the blog, contact them personally.  Do not leave a comment in the actual blog highlighting the error.  But, do let them know so they can fix it through a personal message if they so choose.  

Kathy that is a good reminder to keep in mind, because some listing leave themselves wide open to negative comments.

Great points, Kathy! And suggestions how to respond on content a reader disagrees. 

I came from the same school. I’ve been complementary to fellow agents and their successes. I still feel that we must depend on our fellow agents and don’t throw them underneath the bus Kathy 🙂

Those that are into negative commenting should understand that their negatives are also an example of themselves and could lose as any potential clients as their negative remarks would the original author.

Kathy I remember back in the day when people would leave negative comments on a client centered post.  Seriously folks?  I simply deleted their comment.

Some people fail to understand that some posts are well read and remain for all time. Getting snarky or downright rude is just unacceptable. This post definitely deserved a gold star, Kathy. If it was up to me, your post would get 5 of them like this! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good evening Kathy,

I'm a little late to the party but couldn't agree more with your post! Sharing a negative comment on someone else's blog or feedback may not be the best approach and makes everyone look bad..the author and the person commenting. Move on if you don't agree with the post.

Congratulations on a well deserved feature, Kathy.

This is a very important reminder for anyone commenting on social media of any kind.

A good reminder to be positive because potential sellers or buyers may be reading your comments.

I completely agree with being kind, but I am also a firm believer in holding people accountable for their actions/words.  I hope that people will always be truthful with me, even if it isn't what I want to hear.  I don't like when people tell me what I want to hear but then disparage behind my back, haha.
