folks on this site from _all_ walks of life with _all_ kinds of experience and

only about what evidence and experience they _do_ have.

Above all, I want to hear about ideas, not people. If you speculate on
people's motives or qualifications (especially if you're suggesting downvotes
are the result of disagreement or censorship), or any time in general that you
attack the person of other commenters, you won't interest me. You'll annoy me.
And unless you say something particularly redeeming, I'll probably downvote
the comment.

Understandable, I agree I came off a bit strong. It struck me the wrong way a
bit, and I overreacted. I certainly mean no disrespect. I hope that what I
said after that was on point with what I was trying to get across. I'll be
better, thanks for the heads up.

Congratulations on the 220 paying customers, that's certainly no small feat.
I've been running RateMyStudentRental.com for about 3 years now (well, really
I stopped actively working on it about a year ago), and it only reached about
half that in revenue.

Then, LeadNuke sprang forth as an internal sales tool for RMSR barely a year
ago and it's approaching that level already. In hindsight, I'm really glad I
didn't have this kind of success the first time around, because I have a much
more realistic perspective now and I can appreciate it that much more.

In summary, mad props and respect to you.

it's naive and almost certainly false (there be

 Above all, I desire to hear about ideas, not citizenry. If you speculate on 
 people's motivation or qualifications (especially if you're suggesting downvotes 
 are the resultant role of disagreement or censorship), or any time in cosmopolitan that you

 And unless you say something particularly redeeming, I'll credibly downvote
