Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics.

    Why is it that this board attracts people who want to discuss what goes on on another website. Surely the best way to discuss what happens on another website, is to join it and discuss it there rather than boring everyone with these ludicrous threads about something that just happened on another website that no one here gives a toss about.

    The problem is you can't discuss on that website. If you say that house prices won't crash by 50% you get kicked out.

    so basically you're all upset because you aren't allowed in the crazy club to tell the idiots that they are wrong?

    Indeed .... it is most annoying to state ones opinion over on HPC and then get banned because it may not be what they want to believe - even though I'm not at all controversial ....... ;)

    I thought turning the argument back to the person was a 'bullish practice' or something like that?

    Seriously though, if you reflect on the whole thing does it not all strike you as really odd behaviour? On both 'sides' I mean, not just on your 'team'.

    You have to love it when the internet dweeb tries to call the internet nerd an internet geek.

    You do know what I mean. And I wasn't calling you or I dweebs, geeks or anything else. I was asking you whether you thought all of this 'war' stuff between a few people on a few internet forums is all a bit odd?

    You can either answer whether you do or don't think it strange, or again make a comment about me. Up to you really.

    Of course it is. Its also strangely addictive.

    And. Like. I. Keep. Saying.
    Its no more odd than someone whos compelled to repetatively make a running comment on the "war" between a few people on an internet forum.

    Oh, I'm sorry. Are you the only one with a licence to sit in judgement of posters on internet forums.
    Sorry. I must have missed that memo.
