That was the week that was...Week ending October 30, 2009 - RecruitingBlogs.com

"Last week Karen Mattonen posted Everybody LOVES me, and I have No enemies. I lost track of the number of comments on the post before it was taken down because the personal exchanges had become so acrimonious that it was clear no communal purpose was being served.

There is no shortage of aftershock on Maren Hogan's subsequent post explaining the reasons why the post was removed and suggesting how we might conduct ourselves moving forward. Read How it works here, why not?

Bearing all that in mind...

Mother used to say: 'If you're always putting out fires get rid of the arsonist.'

Just sayin'....love you Mummy.

Barbara Ling has a valuable lesson for us all. Her post Everyone HATES me... but I'm OKAY with that is insightful but the less obvious lesson is this: there's a time to comment and a time to blog. Not all posts are created equal you know."
