My ratio for controversy must hover around 1:150. The penalty/result for that is No comments or reactions are made. Straight facts can sometimes play as boring and lacking value. Look at some of the most successful blogs that are outside the real estate space, how many of those straddle "the middle"? None. I agree with Jay, part of the purpose of my blog is to let potential clients know who I am. I think that if I continue to keep it too conservative that it may come off as robotic which defeats the purpose even moreso. Downside: I have kept my blog mostly vanilla in nature.

I prefer the bloggers who look to gain readership through insightful inquiry and educated observation.

Consistently adding value to the conversation through blogging is a long-term strategy that is more difficult to master than just opening a flame war. The payoffs are in being book marked and returned to for a long time to come. Excellent post!

It's not hard to tell if a post or comment has been thoughtfully crafted. It's even easier to tell if a post was written in haste without checking the facts. Knee jerk reactions are everywhere. Too many people seem to be willing to vilify people and companies without the courtesy of placing themselves in that person's position for even a millisecond. Forming an opinion is easy. Framing an opinion only takes a little more effort. I am inspired by passionate thinkers, even those I do not agree with, as long as their passion is genuine. A little grace and humility can go a long way. As you stated we are all "guilty of it in some fashion" and I will certainly admit to my share. It's the repeat offenders I have to take issue with. Forming an opinion without a complete frame of reference and then launching an attack gets old after a while. When the offender doesn't take the time to interject a little humility and grace, credibility weakens. I am inspired by humility and patience in blogging.
