Hey Geneer. All of those posters have you on ignore.
If you can manage a grown up conversation maybe you'll find that more people will engage with you in the future.
Have you ever thought about putting him on ignore yourself? You should think about it, after all what do you actually get from engaging with him, in my experience, nothing at all.
it's the ultimate thing that will p*ss him off, sure he'll take advantage and have a few digs at you knowing you can't answer back (I suspect he's doing that right now to me on a few threads, but it's kind of satisfying knowing that he is showing that weakness, and everyone else can see that too, people on here are not dumb when they see him having a go at people who have him on ignore they know he is the one who is suffering).
Just imagine if we all had him on ignore. I think this site represents a major part of his life, hard to believe I know, but I don't think he is normal and this is merely an odd diversion for him, I think this (and other) websites are where he spends most of life outside of work.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

No having a pop here, but he appears to be getting more attention while on ignore, than he does off it!0 -

Not really more graham, but give me a chance I'm working my way down in terms of attention, it's the first night on ignore (it is less I assure you, that was the thing about him it was constant bickering, at least now I am talking about him to others rather than to him).Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

I don't really like the ignore function. I only really use it for the sockies - when I see someone with two posts who start talking about Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Thai prostitutes or silver I generally put them on ignore.0 -
Correct, I do indeed find a particularly relevant significance in the distinction between bulls and bears. Oh, and the new every growing breed of "not-bulls" who consistently voice distinctly bullish opinions.
So I reckon you're wrong.
Don't you think it's a little childish to have to categorise everyone on here as either a 'bull' or a 'bear', using your own special definitions, when many of these people wouldn't do so themselves? Or is it an autistic thing?0 -

That's fair enough, I know what you mean about the other issue. Ultimately of course this forum board is doomed to extinction.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -
There are some pretty decent people posting on this thread.
I'd just like to say. I'm probably coming to the end of my time on these type of forums.
The only reason I ever joined HPC in the first place was because of all the negative stuff they used to post on all the newspaper comments sections. That's where I noticed them. They always used to promote the site and put the web address.
At the time I was thinking of selling my house in UK and moving to Thailand full time. Probably about 5 years ago now roughly.
I remember landing at Heathrow being greeted with the newspaper headlines (in the Express actually.:)) 'House prices to crash'
I thought 'great, that's all I need'
After a few days research I actually thought it was possible to happen. Everything did look in place.
All these HPC people were loving it. Now I have no problem with people making money and if people had sold to rent etc and were on a winner then good luck to them. I would have respected their clever judgment.
However, They were really gloating and laughing at the thought of 'sheeple' which represented people like myself. (Just a normal working bloke with a family) losing their home allowing them to pick up a bargain.
Thread after thread of abuse, p.taking and gloating.
I noticed they had completely taken over newspaper comments sections and were trying to get everyone to buy into their crash theory.
Then it all went wrong for them. The government sent out the message that it would support home owners. Mortgage rates were cut to 0,5% and all the other help.
That really was the end of it. The perfect storm was never going to happen.
I never claimed to be brain of Britain but I said right from the start. MP's and rich people usually have huge property interests. Not only that the banks are locked into the property market.
Maybe because I live in corrupt Thailand. I don't know but I can assure you of one thing. If the people who control the country look like they will lose their dough they move the goalposts so it doesn't happen.
So, the HPC gang and there big plans were thwarted.
Instead of taking their medicine and letting the so called bulls they had been hammering into the ground return the favor they banned them. Pretty cowardly.
The clever bears knew the game was up and bought.
All you have left are the young priced out or people with no means to buy (Geneer) who just want to see people lose their home and be in the same boat as them. The thought of somebody owning a home while they cannot is ruining their lives.
I do agree that there is a type of BTL landlord who would be offensive. I used to work for one. Fly boy car dealer with about 10 hell holes on interest only mortgages. He is the type that would be bankrupt had interest rates not dropped.
I can understand people being angry these types have not suffered and are being supported by savers money.
Then again, you also have hard working people who decided to invest in a BTL property and take care of their tenants.
My own case. I just want to rent my house out and live abroad. Not really hurting anyone. Never had a problem with my tenants who I class as friends.
Most of the stuff I post is to give the nasty bears a jab with a sharp stick. Not really serious.
I know my comments on the Express stories rattle their cages and to be honest I think even Sarah O Grady probably raises a smile.
I think she's got the same idea as I have.
Anyway, there you have it.We love Sarah O Grady0 -

hang on....in the past you have said
a) that you own some BTL's
b) that you work for the daily express
c) that house prices are rising where you live
:rotfl:
are you now going back on these things?
and are you seriously trying to take the moral high ground, now that you have been proven the be a lying, multiple-identity, small-minded, pathetic little man?
oh please...sibley / mr ree / STR filth / grandstand frank....or whatever you call yourself....you've spent years trolling multiple internet forums, telling lie upon lie...showing people what a horrible little bigot you are
one post trying to absolve yourself of the tripe you have posted in several thousand other posts does not wash
you openly ridicule anyone without the means to buy...even if it was because they were simply born too late to get on the property gravy train......you have written hundreds of comments to people that show exactly what sort of person you are.
feel free to leave this forum and every other one that you inhabit...and feel free to keep your poisonous little comments to yourself....no one believes you and no one likes you......
i know you won't though....the next time sarah o'grady writes one of her fabricated stories in the express, you'll be all over it, with one of your multiple identities
you are not brave, and you are not clever.....

Get from engaging with him?
A few minutes of fun.... as and when I choose.
It's quite clear the ones who put him on ignore are the ones who genuinely get wound up by his idiotic and provocative style.
Luckily we're not all as sensitive.
I choose when to interact with him and on what terms. I'm sure he'd say the same of me.
Although he clearly has trouble disengaging from an argument first, he's clearly not as sensitive as those putting him on ignore and letting the world know.
The ignore function is there for genuine personal abuse or as a large advertisement that someone can't help themselves about what they reply to and when, from a particular individual who winds them up.0 -

I tried to decide if you really were being serious with this post or whether it was all tongue in cheek.
The quality of the rant convinced me you were serious.
Of course that then invites me to mock you for your hypocritical behaviour re multiple identities.
I won't even get on to the other accusations.
Did I guess right or have I just fallen hook, line and sinker?0
