I am sure the abuse I get must terrify* some would-be posters as it takes a brave man/woman to continue to post in that environment. (*Which is of course the aim.)

I imagine some of your offensive and damn right nasty posts put members off posting or even registering.

You go around this forum just asking for it. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

There's that accusation again without anything to back it up. Come on, link please.

Don't need links to back this up Mr H, everyone on here knows what she's like.

Glad its not just me then that has noticed her playground tactics of belittling those that have a different opinion to her.

Are women not to be the more mature out of the human race:rotfl:In jest

Neverdespairgirl is perfectly reasonable though, she might have an opinion but she doesn't try to make out other people's informed decisions are wrong or they are ill-informed. Carol's sheer arrogance that she knows more about our personal situation than we do as to judge whether I can make the best decisions for my family blow me away.

I find it incredibly that she argues with figures like it would cost 300 GDP more to buy than rent so you must rent (in my case it doesn't - just a relocation) so mercenary and just like the BTLers/property investors lacking in understanding that stable tenured homes are necessary for families to get on with their lives and that to some money is to be spent on accessing such things regardless of whether we can rack up some investment portfolio - I guess I'm just not as mercenary - feeding, clothing and housing with sufficient contingency funds to protect from adversity are my priorities for my family are my number one priorities not whether by putting us through years of undesriable living conditions could have made us a few quid....

At the end of the day everyone is here for the same reason, that being to gain advice whether it be about mortgages, savings, debts etc. People are always going to have different views on subjects.

Everyone should just give their advice/opinions in a civilised manner and let the OP choose whats best for them. When arguments break out over the internet, it doesnt do anyone any good.

I think you mean you can't back it up, because the posts of which you speak do not exist.

I have never, ever seen any.

All I see is you accusing someone else of being abusive and nasty and refusing to provide any evidence.

As it stands, your (and others') accusations do not hold water. I will continue to ask for evidence of these so-called abusive posts from Carolt until either the links are provided or the baseless accusations stop.

I wouldn't say abusive per se, more undermining, insidiously maniuplative, and catty. The woman puts greed and money above all else, it's sad that tenure, other peoples accommodation needs and homes are just figures on a accountancy book to her and the constant need to justify that stance and view is really tedious. I'm not arguing about house price levels - just justifying my decision to try and make the best life for us regardless of economic factors we can't control....
