Bombastic blogger, Kevin Tomlinson<\/a>, knows how to rile up the crowds. Most of you met Kevin through the Project Blogger competition<\/a>, hosted by Activerain.com. Kevin never disappoints. He made the dramatic statement that he believed…<\/p>\n

I expected to be baited by the irrelevant but chose to ignore them; this conversation is too important for the practitioners.
