However, I consider what other people are doing with their sites to be none on my business! It is indeed against Google’s code of conduct to sell links, which is the main reason I don’t do it myself.

I'm just tryna find people to fight with. :) Seriuosly, you flatter me to no end. It's weird for someone to be a "community leader" when really, they'd rather be in their backyard alone. But I like to be around people who are doing good work -- we have a lot to learn from each other, and that's what makes a community interesting. Pshaw, G.

So in the end, there's no need to actually turn people in because they'll get found out and penalized on their own (whether or not Google should be penalizing them is another point altogether). But as for community, Pam, I have to say this: to me, you are one of the most important people in the travel community, particularly in Seattle. And the reason why is that you keep trying to bring more people into that community, and keep elevating the level of conversation within it. Kudos to you.

Since when did we all get along? I disagree with you people all the time!" But, that's not to say I don't value disagreements. Heck, my favorite posts have come out of me totally disagreeing with something someone said on the internets.If I agreed with everyone all the time I'd never have anything to write about! And, yeah, judging is totally the best! Frankly, I wish more people would assume they're being judged before pushing the publish button on their blog... maybe, then, I'd see a lot more quality writing and a lot less spelling and grammar mistakes. (Not that I ever make those. Ever. Ahem.) Yeah, I read a few of the “Why can’t we all just get along” posts and had to wonder, “What? Since when did we all get along?
