Solid position but I must have been blessed without having people that have gone this distance.  Most of the people that comment are having good insight and provide information that offer value to the conversation.  Differences in opinion or different perspectives is exactly what I am looking for to ensure that I learn more each and every time I have a conversation with someone on the network. 

 

But I have yet to have an argument or anyone take it as a personal character attack.  I will have to watch some of your posts to see what people say!

Sorry that I missed the RecruitingAnimal Show and the fireworks.  Sounds like it was a hoot.

 

I have written a few blogs and I have always felt that whatever I write has to drive change - no matter how small - either in the reader or in myself, the writer.  Writing, like good theater, must be provocative in order to make a difference.

 

The lack of rational response and appropriate respect is a reflection upon whom?  Usually the irrational is the one who needs the most changing. 

 

People are people, so why should it be.. that you and I get along so awfully...

Welcome to the nut house!  ;-)  I look forward to the next time you're a guest on Animal!

Have a great Friday!

@Jason,  thanks for your feedback ... Sometimes I take a break from Blogging just to read about what others have to say and I did that in the last 3 months-in that time I do a lot of responding to other blogger posts and sometimes not often, you get the defensive push back of folks who would just wish you would just agree with them and move on ...    I am always going to utilize my experience and add perspective based on that experience.

@Rayanne ... Yes you missed a wild show it was Off the Chain, the hook and my new term off the chisel ( Borrowed from Snoop Dogg)... I just realized that I had a analyst on the show that had it out for me from a past response I made to one of his blogs back in 2010... So I went back in to check what it was I said that pissed him off so much to keep a grudge that long and realized there were 3 other responders to his blog who agreed with my position- not sure why he was still angry at me... What makes it worse - I am the reason he does not want to come back to recruitingblogs as stated in his response ... Little me Wooo .... How can you have a constructive conversation with someone if you hold animosity against that person...  Ahh well.... This is really what spurred me to write this blog...

@Rayanne ... That song really sums it up ... I love Depeche Mode too  ... :)

The world would be pretty boring if we all agreed all the time.  I'm always interested in other points of view.  I'll admit though to being pretty convinced I'm right most of the time.  I can't help it.  :)

 

What I don't like are the personal attacks/threats.  And it happens. 

 

In my opinion anyone on any blog that is offering the "I know what I'm doing - you don't" advice should be prepared to at a minimum come out from behind the curtain and prove they are a real person.

@Jerry ... You're funny ... Thanks for chiming in ... I have to agree with you on the personal attacks -  Well advice has to be measured on the years of experience an individual brings to the table.

Touche! Speak your mind in a professional, thought provoking manner.  Share thoughts - make your own conclusions - without insult or injury.

"But we are “Recruiters First” we have crazy personalities that sets us apart from other Professions"

 

Hahaha! I had to laugh at this comment and point out that that is a huge perception and in some cases 'misperception'.   That's my humble opinion ;).

 

I concur with your thoughts on sharing concepts.  I think it's great to have discussions and voice opinions but the personal attacks aren't going anywhere productive.  It's more fun to find humour in a blog you don't agree with rather than attack the person behind it.  Thanks for sharing!
