@Phil Scheiris I honestly find that you are drawing far fetched conclusions in your post.
Attitude -- It’s a big leap to say my attitude is “piss poor”. Calling a spade a spade is not poor attitude. Recommended approach would be not draw personality conclusions and stick to the topic.
Use of blogs/forums to vent their problems -- I don’t know what your experiences has been in the past with forums. In this specific case, I shared a problem and asked for suggestions, not pity. These types of forums are built to share challenges and seek recommendations.
Condemning a whole group -- Certainly not doing that, in fact I have a couple of very good friends that are great wholesalers and work really hard. But then there are a significant number of other ones that are short sighted, trying to make a quick buck at any cost and giving the broader group a bad name. Maybe the gurus are the ones that are polluting the community with $995 courses for bird dogs and wholesalers.
Ignore the bad wholesalers -- How exactly to do that? Generally the wholesalers seem to forward deals from other people, so it’s almost impossible for me to figure out who really has the deal!!
I think a more helpful approach would be to offer solutions instead of suggesting to ignore the issue and reality.
