Behind Enemy Lines

Well I finally broke down and accepted one of Ardell's invitations. Went to her big party for the Sellsius blog tour guys.

I finally met face-to-face with a good portion of the RCG crew: Ardell, Rhonda, Jillayne, Galen, and Robbie, as well as Marlow Harris. Also had interesting conversations with Caleb of ActiveRain, and Joe (one of the Sellsius dudes on the big tour).

The Sellsius guys have this big fold-out board they're having everyone along their tour sign, which now has "The Tim was here! - SeattleBubble.com" on it. Buah-ha-hah.

Seriously though they were all very friendly and complimentary toward me and even the blog in general. Many of them were surprised at my age, as they for some reason thought I was much older than I am. Apparently they haven't read the About the Blogger page. :^)

    I saw Ardell's comments over there that you might be joining! Was she as soft-focused in person as she is on the web?

    I just couldn't resist. All in good fun. Here's an undoctored version of another shot.

    truly awesome.

    Am I the only one that thinks Jillayne over at RCG is awesome? She's honest and realistic, if not a downright bear on RE. I can't believe they continue to let her post over there, since she doesn't tow the RE line. She's like a breath of fresh air in that place.

    Jillayne rocks.

    And she's smart and informed.

    Linking the thread for others.

    Countrywide: SuperBad

    darnright heresy in RCG terms, but quite informative.
  • EconEEconE
    Wow...I was wondering what dug this old thread up. I read both Reba's and Jillaynes thread. Rebas is what I would have expected...and it looks like she wasn't getting much support. Jillaynes thread almost felt like RCG let Keith from HousingPANIC guest post as long as he "minded his manners".
  • kpomkpom
    I am very impressed that RCG has left Jillaynes post up.

    Seems like there's a lot of infighting over at RCG these days. Well, it's really just Ardell. She's been throwing grenades at Jillayne already and has recently Rhonda caught in some of the splash damage. Now she's going after Craig. I don't remember any of this happening during boom times, but then Ardell has always seemed to have a problem with anyone that doesn't see the world through her eyes.

    Watch out, S-Crow, you could be next! :lol:

    Really? It seems as if the discourse on RCG is quite civilized. Ardell has asked questions in Jillayne's posts, but the ones I saw were quite polite. Are there any particular missives you are thinking about?

    I recall a couple of pot-shots she's taken at Jillayne lately (one about "chum" comes to mind) but I don't recall which post/comments it was in. As is usual, she backtracked when called on it. The whole "angle" thing aimed at Craig shows a real vindictive side, which seems to be a recurring theme. I'm just surprised it's aimed at another RGC'er this time (assuming "Craig" is Craig Blackmon).

    I don't understand Ardell's venom at Craig regarding the "angle."

    He asked her what set BRIO apart and she dedicates a whole post deriding him because he used the word "angle."

    It seems like Ardell has really gotten hostile with Craig ever since his post about using an attorney for a flat fee instead of a buyer's agent.

    Her and several of the other agents on that board have gotten extremely cranky since that post. Guess they don't like seeing reasonable alternatives to their services being discussed.

    I think that the overall real estate market is making a number of people at RCG cranky. They are going to be cranky for a long time.
