Is it too strong to say I hate you....or maybe I just don't like you. Or maybe you're a coward. Or maybe you're just fearful of God knows what? I really do have a beef with you. When I was politicking during the election in my local community I had a number of locals just state the most anonymous slams against me and my family. And I wasn't even running for an office. I had a poltical viewpoint, but you felt that it was OK to just slam me and my family for me exercising my free speach rights. I've seen many people disagree with me with their names attached. Quite frankly, there's an awesome gentleman who is 180 degrees opposite me in my political views, but he always attached his name. After the election was over (my side lost), we agreed that it was time to bury the hatchett and we met and a friendship grew. I think he's nuts on his political beliefs, as does he with mine. However, our core values are almost identical and a long term relationship is evolving. But you, Anonymous Commenter, kept harassing me and saying that the entire public should boycott my business. And, of course.....this was done all anonymously.
More recently, you've shown to pop up from time to time, but I have the feeling that you are an Active Rainer who doesn't want to be known in the community for slamming people.
Here's the gig:
Who cares if you slam me. I'm not a slammer. I give opinions and advice and leadership and pointer and knowledge, and
GUESS WHAT.....
You have every right to disagree with me. I have a good friend with Mr. Jeff Belonger, who just crossed

the 400,000 point mark this morning....CONGRATS JB. He'll disagree with me (even though he knows betters. Let's face it..l'm older, wiser, smarter, better looking and more humble than he is, but he still has the gall to challenge me from time to time) and I'll still respect him (most of the time). All discourse is welcome in the Rain. I really believe that the hearts of most are good and decent, but you, Anonymous Commenter, have some serious issues. You're either:
1) A coward - hiding because you're afraid of engaging in discourse;
2) Are a fearful sort - because God knows whatever happened to you in your past, you're still dealing with it today and can't make a comment that you can let anyone know is yours;
3) In some position in some social aristocratic family that would never be allowed to be seen commenting on a social site such as Active Rain,
4) A member of a competing real estate blog - this is your final way to take down the competition;
5) A disgruntled ex-employee of mine - I let you go for a reason (just kidding, most of my ex-employees I love, but there's that one or two that are sand in the underwear);
6) Or God know's who or what else you are.
Here's the deal....slam me, disagree with me, but I can't be disrespectful to anyone who puts their name to what they say. I'm as transparent as I can be. Do the same Anonymous Commenter. You'll feel so much better.
