Like Road Rage it seems Active Rage is taking it`s toll on some.

With 90,000 members,and a plethora of others who visit Active Rain it`s only normal to have a few "Odd Balls", who seem to have what i deem "Active Rage".

Like Road Rage, where people lose all self control on the road and believe they`re in a "Race for the Finish Line", it only seems appropriate "Active Rage" would oneday appear.

Active Rage can be defined as those readers who for whatever reason decide they want to continuously take "Pot Shots" at you by either calling you names or by attacking you on the forum or in extreme cases over the telephone.
Some take it to the extreme, where they feel compelled to call you and tell you what they think! No big deal,except when you use profanities!

There are a few chronics who feel since we`re accessible to the public we should be accessible to them as well.

Yesterday I wrote "Seller objects to a $900 settlement with lenders! Blames everyone for "Not doing their job".. "

This story seems to have hit home with a few readers.
Some took the time to contact me via email taking the side of the seller, they felt they were correct in not taking any responsibility for their actions.They blamed the lenders for this mess,which is fine by me.

Another took the time to post twice accusing me of being indifferent to the client,not fully understanding what a "Short Sale: is or what our job was in completing the sale.
All fine and dandy!
Finally, we received a telephone call from a supposed reader who told me in no uncertain terms " I suck for taking the side of the lenders and how the lenders should "Go to Hell".

They felt with the economy in the doldrums, people have the right "NOT TO PAY", in fact they should have been able to "Stay Longer".
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I have no issues with that. If you feel compelled to email or post, that`s fantastic.
However, I draw the line when someone actually calls me out on a telephone by spewing hatred.When self control goes out the window, it`s time to worry about the stability of others.
Active Rage is sweeping the Internet, I guess it`s a sign of the times.
