    Far be it for me to question a board guide or MSE member. However, I thought PPR meant the user couldn't log in. They therefore can't read the information on this part of the forum or ask for advice anywhere. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong... :)
    I think I understand. You can log in, but not post. So you can still read. Not a great deal of fun I imagine.

    You can also come back in via a poxy server, log on as BigBoyMachII, tell everyone you're actually Mewbie, and get banned again. Not really a lot of fun either.

    Or.

    Become a bull, post endless garbage, wind up people who think house prices are too high, and report those who bite back to the mods.

    Or.

    You can tone down your act, toe the party line, slip into a comfortable middle of the road thank and be thanked existence and generally have an easy time.

    I'm not entirely sure that's where I want to be.

    ps. I'll stop bleating on about this in a minute, but you know I like to have a 'theme' for an evening.

    That's not true mewbie. I can't say how I know, but trust me on this one.

    To be fair I took more than my fair share of stick and wind ups for purchasing last year so it is not just a bull/bear problem. It is people who wind people up.

    I think I stick as close to the later as possible, I never hold a grudge against any one I have a strong debate with. I think CarolT will back me up on that.
    Talking of Carol I have not seen her for a bit.

    No, I have never been banned from this or any site. I do however have a talent for occasionally asking challenging questions. So who knows...tomorrow is another day.

    I think those that have been PPR'd can't post emotions btw. Something about not working through a proxy server.
    Or so broders once said. I don't understand it myself, especially if it were an english proxy.
    Does Generali post emotions (from Oz)? I can't recollect...
