    Fixed.

    Too short.

    Edit: ad9898, if you were still wondering, this thread contains a lot of the people I was alluding to the other day.
    Yes, I remember that one. Isn't that the thread in which your remarkable likeness to Dithering Dad was brought up?

    Yes I believe that was yet another of the moronic posts in that thread.

    Actually, they were accusing them of insulting OTHERS.

    See theres twisting, and theres complete fabrication.

    Ah I see what you're getting at now.

    Doesn't really make it any less hypocritical does it.

    Bulls can have an open and honest debate about house prices.

    Bears feel insecure and get emotionally involved, as they feel society owes them a cheaper house.

    But at least they can post under one name.

    I recognise this name from the housepriceselfhelpgroup website.

    Yes, interesting that the other place has purged every single one of the bulls today.

    We can't post without mod approval, can't start threads without time delay, can't PM, and have been told we're all now labelled as trolls because we might influence new posters.

    There is panic and desperation in bearland when they have to resort to censoring positive news stories and stifling debate.

    As a relatively new poster to this site (although I have been signed up for a year) I have read so many debates/arguments regarding the Housing Market and prices in general.
    You can easily tell which camp a poster subscribes to by their responses, and indeed predict what a person is going to say about any given debate on here.
    I smell a rat.

    Surely someone who has been a member of this site for a year could predict that starting a discussion titled " Bulls & Bears - What's the difference" would create a massive slanging match? Has someone got ulterior motives here? :confused:

    Seriously? So anyone with a positive stance on things has those rules applied or is it everyone?

    Yes, as sad as it is, every single bull poster on there was demoted to troll status today. Every single one of them. No posts or threads without mods censoring them.

    And no coincidence it happened now that prices are rising. The mods admitted it is because we might influence newcomers.
