    From that article, the MSE editorial stance is clear. House price inflation is great.

    Yes, that would explain why bears get banned from MSE at the the drop of a hat whereas bulls don't. The bias has been evident for some time now.

    Perhaps the owner of MSE has a BTL empire to protect?

    Alternatively, perhaps it's because bears seem to have a predilection for posting pornographic images?

    We may never be able to solve this mystery!

    by their own admission these 'bears' that have been PPR'd made some basic errors....

    1. Sending abusive PM's to other users
    2. Using multiple user accounts on this forum
    3. Posting pornographic pictures
    4. Making abusive posts directed at other users
    5. and more...

    Are these 'bears' going to be like the 21st century equivalent of a persecuted group in society that is not allowed free speech now?

    but anyway... let's get back on topic....

    where does it say that? is it because they haven't said that HPI is a bad thing?

    It's easy to imply something without being explicit.
