    Can we swap the new users (well we know they are not) and have AD back please.

    Got a feeling theses new ones will spoil the board where AD was a useful decent poster.

    Totally.

    Mewbie used to be OK, but he kind of lost it the more prices rose. Ended up all bitter and angry. Kind of pathetic really.

    At least AD would have a proper debate.

    That's it graham you support multi ID rants at posters and sockpuppets.:T

    Is it acceptable that it is a "bear" that is doing it?
    It will be the death of the board while some idiots stand by and clap "him/her/it" on.

    I remember people saying Ad had become bitter/angry with house price rises too. :confused:

    I remember people telling me I was a #~#~ for buying last year, would be in NE, that my house would fall down and that I was bitter and angry prices were falling.

    Some will always say something like that.
    As far as I can remember AD took price rises with a pinch of salt and some good banter.

    This is the first time I got involved in any of this. But thanks for letting me know I support it all.

    :T

    N.B. When you are not involved, and see one person throw a line, and a load of people fall over themselves to try and mock that poster while patting each other on the back and saying "ohhhh, one is so above such nonsense, ban them, I say ban them"...it's all rather amusing.

    Puppets on a string came to mind, thats all.

    No malice here. It was just amusing! The only people involved is the person with the ID's, and you lot falling over it all. It won't be anyone else causing the end of the board, so please don't try and suggest that I support it and am egging it on.

    your double standards are shining through once again... :T

    i'm surprised that you've condoned the multiple user issue.

    just the other day when you made one of your nonsense points your defence was those that had highlighted your foolishness were one user with multiple ID's... :rolleyes:

    but here you seem to think it's ok...

    .

    Any proof of that?

    Perhaps you could comment about the post about Hamish's wife last night?
    Sorry if it was a "bull:rolleyes:" I would say it was out of order (like I have in the past) and some of the "bears:rolleyes:" would be going nuts. I would not blame them either.

    The world already feels a better place.:)

    But in all seriousness it only takes the right voice from somewhere to calm some posters down.
    I have no problem saying things like that above on occasion, h as I do not see this site has some fantasy war zone of "Bulls Vs Bears"
    I think some see it as turning on each other, I see it has being human. :)

    I think I should do it more, but thankfully up until recently it had subsided a fair bit.
