    I'm seriously thinking of putting bootski on ignore. Not because his/her posts are abusive or anything, simply because I'm tired of scrolling past his/her unread and quite pointless posts. The scroll wheel on my mouse is getting quite worn out with all the activity!

    I've not worked out yet if he/she is a touch simple, or just doing some hardcore trolling (note: proper use of trolling).

  • Bootski is no troll. He or she is just a bull who can't handle their drink. If Bootski stayed sober for more than 5 minutes he or she might be quite coherent.

    There you have it. Looks like anybody who expresses non-bearish sentiments is being banned on HPC.

    But that has always happened.

    Did I miss something on that thread?

    Looks like they're trying to keep it from being discussed this time on hpc though, after the uproar from the more reasonable bears last time they banned all the bulls.

    They must be furious over there about the recession ending, unemployment falling, and house prices rising.
    Been away for a while.
  • They must be furious over there about the recession ending, unemployment falling, and house prices rising.

    They would be, if they could bring themselves to admit it's happening.

    Instead, they are still firmly in the "denial stage", and banning anyone that mentions the truth.

    Fear and capitulation come next, but I rather suspect prices will rise past the previous peak before that lot catch on to reality.:D

    Hamish, you got banned. Get over it.

    Why care what they think at HPC ? Why still obsess about that site ?

    You got banned for persistent rudeness and trolling not for having a different opinion.

    You're more obsessed with me than you claim I am with HPC. :eek:

    This is the third or fourth time in this thread you've pitched in to make the same statement.

    Besides, we all know why the bulls got troll status.

    Trying to discredit your opponents when they are right... Something you're very familiar with.;)

    Why am I not surprised.

    Did they say something to upset the hive mind?
