Issues with Rene @ Biggerpockets

[Calvin Thomas]

I've been here at Bigger Pockets for many years.  This would be the first time I will be posting this about another community member and Bigger Pockets employee.  She not only took it upon herself to delete my post from a couple of weeks ago, but also messaged me about the post.  She said it was offensive and "wildly inappropriate and sexist to say to another member of the community".  She went on, which I felt it was harassment by a Bigger Pockets employee.  I asked her not to contact me anymore and leave me alone.

The post was not sexist in any way.  It was to inform a person of someone who could possibly be trying to take advantage of her and to be careful.  Not only that, several members, males and females also agreed with my post.

Her acts against my post are wrong and should not be tolerated.  I've been a member longer than she's been an employee of Bigger Pockets.  At my age, I do not need to be talked down to by any person; especially when it was uncalled for and wrong on many different levels. 

Biggerpockets has changed over the last year.  I am not into this irreverent censorship and community bashing.  With that said, I wish everyone at Bigger Pockets well.  I do not plan to visit or participate on the site or community any longer.  I didn't know Bigger Pockets has turned into male vs female ideology.  I also do not believe staff, from any company, should be singling out any member, in public or via message in anyway, shape or form.

Best of luck to everyone.  I've enjoyed my near decade here, but this is just too much.

Should Renee or anyone else delete my post, then well, I guess it is what it is.

Take care everyone.  I wish everyone the best in all future endeavors.

While I can’t speak to a deleted comment I agree 100% with the overwhelming majority’s advice for OP to be mindful of the glaring red flags. In my experience there are increased opportunities for those in US society who are young and considered attractive so hopefully it works out for her. Regardless I would encourage you not to let a pm get you so jazzed that you leave.
