Why have some of the bears got sore heads.

Really2

There seems to be non stop abuse to people with anything other than a negative view.
Yes we have some loons in what some would decribe as "bulls" but by inlarge we ignore them.

But it seems now that there are bears that just want to run people of the board with user accounts that have never been used for ages suddenly giving people hassle!

This week I have at least 4 posters hurling personal insults (even about my problem) and just trolling through old threads to cause arguments.

I am in two minds to leave the board or actualy be a foul mouth pig of a human being like most bears put up with on here.

Because they have nothing more interesting to do with their time? Anything excessive should be reported, anything less "don't feed the trolls".

I couldn't resist having a peak as you are on ignore and you know what? You still have nothing constructive to say.

Do us all a favour either deal with your paranoia or go away.

I doubt I'll be taking a peak again.

Who is paranoid? Checking my posts when on ignore?
Sounds like you not me.

Cheers PN, To tell you the truth I do not think I was signed on here then (I presume it was pr 2008)

I know there are some on here that still do (well one pp) but I don't see why this is a pack thing, I am just a poster and not a member of any social group.

I don't belive in punishing people for others mistakes but perhaps that is where I go wrong sometimes.
Or geeting banded as bad as others because of what some did in the past.

Well I just think that it's hard to reconcile bullish views in a bear market (falling - technically). Therefore it looks like there are disagreements about the fundamental direction of the market , i.e when prices and markets are falling, bearish posters just comment that it is falling, whereas by definition, bull posters post that a market is not falling or will soon rise (even though it is technically not doing so at present). Arguments will naturally arise on this basis.

The most fun on the board was before the collapse really began, when bears and bulls actually had something to fight about. I.e.: the market was stalling, but neither falling nor rising. Only in this scenario do you need bulls. They are irrelevant, as are their opinions, in a falling market.

You may be suprised to find that when the market does begin to rise (whenever in the future tha may be), that many of the posters labelled 'bears' will be bulls. just the way it works.

I understand that and I am indeed bearish about house prices over the coming year+.

But why do some have to post rubbish to be deliberatly personaly insulting then others thank it?

For example they will make a peronal coment add an answer to a post in the middle and then finish on another insult.

Then if you answer either they give more insults.

On the inane abuse I agree 100% with you. It's become really tiresome of late (i'd say since after Christmas), so I tend to just stay out of it now, or just ignore responsive posts. I actually come on a lot less now as the board has become very abusive and a lot less interesting.

What a waste of time posting this drivel.
