I may be missing something, but what's this 'Killer Bunny' post thingy all about? You're talking about someone renting in Hertfordshire. Roydon is in Essex!

Hence the past tense in my first post. To think that Jonathan is spunking ever more money to rent a place like that is amazing.

I've yet to see anyone that won on STR. Greed always seems to get the better of them and they always miss the bottom.

I've yet to see anyone from the Nepal, but that doesn't mean they dont exist.

According to a lot of stories I've read recently about the police involvement with a certain newspaper, you could say that there is 'no evidence to suggest people from Nepal exist'.

I've never known an internet forum that has such a weird, stalkerish obsession with another online forum. If I were interested in posts on hpc I would go and read it. I'm logged onto this one though.

Look at it this way. Jonathan Davis sold his house in 2002 hoping to hop onto the ladder when prices crashed (having already made 100% profit from the property he sold). Since then he has been the spokesperson for the most successful Housepricecrash website in the UK (although I stand to be corrected if any other matches it). He has been saying that prices will crash between 30% and 50% for a very long time now and some people would say that a forum that in intended to debate House Prices could legitimately debate whether Jonathan was right. If I was raising comments on Ray Boulger I don't think anyone would be complaining but JD is at least as high profile as Mr Boulger.

Could anyone dispute that Jonathan Davis is a Vested Interest commentator? Could anyone dispute that he has got it dramatically wrong (so far)?

Like ...

Halifax
Nationwide
Homes under the Hammer
Krusty 'figure of a fridge freezer' Alsop
That women with large magoombas and light switches on them.
Daily Express.
That fat orange bloke you met at a party who kept going on about his BTLs.

etc etc.

If you are involved with something you have a vested interest.

Only one person disputes it and that person disputes it with a passion that borders on the unhealthy.

With the greatest respect it could be said that your interest in JD has become somewhat unhealthy too.

It's understandable that you'd want to try and save people from taking p**s poor advice from JD but I'm not sure that this forum is the place where that can be done to maximum effect.

Do you think it might be time to let it go?

I couldn't care less about Johnathan Davis, or anyone who bases life-changing decisions on financial advice from randoms off an internet forum.
