Why have some of the bears got sore heads.

Really2, I know that we had a small difference a few days back regarding my objection regarding a certain poster and his sexist insults. What I liked was the way, as adults we were able to discuss, I was given the chance to explain further and you recognised my point without the nasty, arrogant replies from certain posters here. I thank you for that.

Yeh it's all your fault Gen, the least you could have done is sat and taken a grilling in front of the MP select commitee, you haven't even said sorry, you just upped and went sailing around Sydney harbour.:D

Can you blame me? By all accounts the bloke from HSBC looked pretty bored. I can't say I'd've fancied it.

Actually I'm out on the boat next week on an MSE mission. The bloke that owns it had to buy a new engine so he's broke. As a result we're moving it to free moorings from where it is right now. We're going out past 'The Heads' and on to the Ocean. Very excited.

Pobby thinks you mean me, please enlighten him as to who you actually mean.

Hey no need to thank me.
Being Civil is (should:)) a part of every day life.
In my eyes respect is a two way thing just many on this site do not see that and expect it instead.

But you and like many on this post (who have managed to be civil) get my respect.

Why is wanting the price of homes to fall considered a negative thing. For many it is very good news.

Ah but now we partially own the banks, falling house prices is reducing the value of our credit paper, and securities on loans. Actually why do the banks want house prices to fall i.e. when they instruct their valuers to undervalue (sorry be conservative).

Well all thing being equal for some it is a bad thing as I presume if you purchased at the top you would be going in to NE or deep in NE.

I believe only a relatively small percentage of the population are in that position. I truly believe that probably 90% of the country would be more secure for the future if house prices dropped and held at about 3-4 times average income for the area. Cannot see why the media, polititians etc all consider falling prices to be such a disaster. I am probably missing something.
PS. I do own a house, so this is not just sour grapes.

Because, like neas, you have a downer on me for some reason. Even though I have never had a bad word to say about either of you, nor have I argued with either of you, nor do I have anything against either of you.

Shame really.

I do recall however, receiving an apology from neas when he had a huge tirade about the 'HPI crowd' and included my name as one of the group. I pointed out that I have consistently stated that lower house prices are a good thing and wanted a fall in prices, but that I feel sorry for the poor guys who bought at peak and will be in Neg Equity. He must've looked at some of my history because he agreed that he was wrong and was man enough to say so.

I have to say I was pretty impressed with neas for that.
