Here is Teri Lussier’s first post at BloodhoundBlog: Hi. I’m Teri…And I’m aghast.<\/a><\/p>\n

Teri had to tell me that today is the first day of her sixth year writing with us. I’m not a birthdays and anniversaries kind of guy. But I am nothing but proud of the dawg she has turned out to be, and it’s fun to herald the event.<\/p>\n

I didn’t know it at the time, but I met Teri just at the beginning of the end of the golden age of the RE.net. The Project Blogger contest was the first little bit of orchestrated hoke in the real estate weblogging world, and I had just told the mob of cliquey mediocrities the first of many truths they did not want to hear, inciting the first of many failed mass sneerspasms.<\/p>\n

In each one of those mob actions, writers at BloodhoundBlog were assailed with entreaties to stop writing here. I think the theory was that depriving BloodhoundBlog of their voices would somehow silence my<\/em> voice.

But a lot of agents and lenders screwed up their careers trying to recreate a kindergarten playground — Lord of the Flies<\/em> with no points off for spelling errors.<\/p>\n

Teri Lussier has written great essays on BloodhoundBlog, and I’m very grateful for that. But I’m also very grateful to call her my friend. I don’t make friends quickly or easily, and I am very, very quick to push people away from me as soon as I realize they are not<\/em> friends to me.<\/p>\n

But I am a friend to Teri not out of loyalty to her, but out of my indivertible loyalty to principle. Teri lives up to values I admire, revere and worship, and that<\/em> is the source of Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
