Too bad they aren't the anonymous/utah student's questions!  I still want to send that school a hefty bill for teaching their students for them.

I applaud Bob Stewart for doing this if there are questions that really are not appropriate. But they might need to beef up the guidelines for what is acceptable so everyone would know. What does JUST FOR FUN really mean?

How about a post that talks more about what the Q and A really is intended to accomplish?

This reminds me of when investors take over business, they clean house and bring in their own people to protect the investment. Raising the Q & A bar?

I think from what I read on Bob Stewart's blog is that none real estate questions will be especially in the Just for Fun, but I have noticed some today that were non-real estate and still stood ...but they were good questions there were some that were totally stupid. I hope this helps!

I hadn't noticed, but I'm very uncomfortable with it, to be honest. 

I'm perfectly happy if there are rules about what questions are and are not acceptable.  But I don't see anything that says those questions aren't ok. 

Have you had a response from AR about what happened?
