I occasionally check her site for content. She posted a similar thing on her own website, using similar words. The posting on voiceofsandiego says some of the same things she posted on hers.
Some excerpts and the link below …
One more thing: some people on the piggington forums ask what happened to powayseller. After I wrote that “Rich and I missed the boom”, which is true, he really lost his cool, and frankly I did not like contributing to a site where now the host was calling me some bad names. That was on top of having to deal with personalities like jg and others who often put me down, for no reason. I just got tired of dealing with them.
…
I also lost respect for the low level of reporting on that site, and the host’s reluctance to learn from others. I had sent him referrals, realtors he could interview, and they all told me he never called. I sent him emails with corrections to stories in the last few months, but no corrections were ever issued. So there is an air of super sensitivity, and that goes to the clash we had: Rich allowed all name calling in the forum, but absolutely would not tolerate any critique of his reports.
Sounds similar to the post on VOSD.
The unspoken rule over there is “do not disagree with the God”. The worship over there went against my sensibilities.
I hope that nobody worships me like that. I would never want that. Please always use your common sense, and don’t blindly believe people who try to teach you about real estate from behind a desk. I stopped reading Rich’s reports, because he uses data to speculate, instead of using facts/interviews to understand. So he comes up with some colorful graphs, but some of them frankly are wrong and misleading.
I realize he dropped me from his RSS Feeds for his website, so my reports are no longer posted over there. This was likely because he did not like that I corrected his story that NODs are must-sell inventory, leading to price drops. He was also mad, as I said above, that I wrote that ” I and he missed the real estate boom”.
I have no problem admitting that, or acknowledging any mistakes. I constantly question other people, so I can keep learning. Demand that of your advisors! Be careful getting your real estate advice from people who do not want to learn, who refuse to disclose their own real estate investing history, or who have a need to be worshipped rather than understood.

A big difference you will find here is that I welcome your comments, no matter how much you disagree with me.
