Anyone notice that some of the 'bulls' here are getting narky ?

Not long ago you'd have got short-shrift with -70% claims, and even threads that discuss unemployment and the prospect of pay-cuts with deflation, brings about some balanced discussion from the bulls.

Maybe I detect some realisation from them on how house prices could crash severely from these heights, and how salaries could be cut in line for the global economy, with the unwinding of massive debt levels that allowed near 300% house price inflation and debt fuelled economic consumption.

What do mean not long ago ( oh I see 5 minutes ago)? Your still in the Carling cup, I think.

I think it is your inability to read my post and then then try to make out I am being "bullish" and go on to make the same point that Narks me.:rolleyes:

I believe the OP was mainly referring to some fairly nasty personal attacks made at another poster on a thread that I don't believe you commented on.

Seen it quite a bit today, some of it quite personal, are we entering the next phase ?

For months on this board there has been a non-stop stream of poisonous posts, aimed variously at DFWs, anyone who bought a Buy -to- Let, and anyone with a mortgage. All with the same message - DFWs, BTLers and MFWs have driven up house prices with their greed and stupidity. "These greedy people have priced FTBs out of a home - shame on them" was the message.

Now we find that the resident posters on this board are really no different from those they critise. !!!!!! wants a buy to let and NDG (the resident thanking buddy of the HPCers) is drooling over her next million pound plus house purchase. All the hot air and bluster was just a smoke screen because in fact they can't wait to get their greedy little snouts in the trough and are actually no better than those they constantly attack.

Don't view this post as one from an upset bull. View it as a post from a DFW or any other poster that's been maligned by the resident posters on this board.

If you are just out to make yourself rich, so be it, but spare us the fake anguish that you actually care about anyone but yourselves.

Thats fair enough but some people come on here with problems such as mortgage defaults etc and get a mouthfull of some of the more hostile "bears" as i said i dont think either side can hold a moral high ground as no one denounces their own group.
Just keep on reporting them and they will disapear eventualy.

chucky

why do people on this board like to call them bulls or bears.
can we just use "positve people" or "negative people please?

those that thinks it's bad and not that bad and the others who think it's going to be 70% price drops.

There is the House Buying, Renting & Selling board for those posts, and in honesty, the bears tend not to really extend their claws in there. I don't, and have only once or twice done so in the past. Even that recent Northern Ireland woman with a load of BTLs didn't draw full out attack. We held the line.

My last post in there I did have a dig at the OP for not seeing it from Nationwide's POV, to help him understand... and then congratulated the OP when he got the sudden news the developers had agreed to cut the asking price by £30,000 to match Nationwide's new valuation.

Thats fair enough mate and I know you would not go too OT anyway.
I have seen the odd 1 who do it (Carol Thatcher;) ) but just a genralisation on my behalf that their are always people who will go OT.
I am quiet argumentative but try not be insulting, but some are just insulting.
its just human nature and their will be some in any side of an argument.

Being born in May I have always regarded myself as a bull but am I a bear?
