Re: 1038 Lake Avenue
Dear Attorney O’Rourke – always a distinct pleasure to hear from a brother of the bar. I’m puzzled at what you find actionable about the posting on my blog – are you unaware that it came from another real estate site (linked to in my blog -I’ll wait here while you go check). Back? See, the same pictures! Which, coincidentally enough, drew an almost identical response from that blog’s readers as my blog’s readers. It seems that, by a margin of 10 – 1, viewers find the decorating scheme off-putting. I suggest that this same distaste for the decorating may account for the house’s failure to sell. After all, to buy it, one must enter. Perhaps it could be marketed as a school for the blind?
But enough of this gay banter – I believe my posting is protected speech and well within the ethical guidelines governing real estate agents. As for your reference to my duties to your client as a member of the bar, I remain,
cordially yours but
baffled.

Oh, it’s that house. I think the seller should consider their potential liability in exposing buyers to those color and pattern combinations. That’s probably why they canceled your showings at the last minute.
Crimes I tell you! Crimes against humanity are what these monsterous people have perpetrated. Have they no shame, why would they do something like that to an otherwise nice home?
Make that a margin of 11-1. That is the most nauseating decorating scheme I have ever seen.
Watch out, Wally, or BJ O’Rourke will be coming after you!
Yeah, John, but you can hide in the Tucson foothills!
Brendan O’ Rourke should have sent a cease and desist letter to the decorators.
Willy Wonka one of your 10 buyers Chris?
ENTERING THIS HOUSE CAN DEFINETLY TRIGGER A MIGRAINE .
hee hee hee – well I am glad they picked on such a capable foe – and are leaving wee Julia out of the legal lime light …
fight the good fight as they say – enjoy – cheers le

I love it when hack lawyers like O’Rourke write obviously meaningless letters like the one he sent to you, and then word gets around. Darwinism doesn’t work fast enough to weed out such reptiles, so a little public airing of their lack of skills is the next best thing. With any luck, he’ll be forced out of the law business and have to take up a trade for which he has actual skills. Shoveling up after horses comes to mind. (Although, he’d probably sell that product to his former clients for use as decorating tidbits.)
Keep up the good work, Christopher.
