Whilst some of what you say is true the straw that broke the camel's back for carolt was nothing to do with her war with DD.
It was her stance on child benefit which several posters, who dont take part in the "silly games", vocally disagreed with her that proved too much. It had long been the case she could dish it out but not take it however when it was criticism from a corner she didn't expect, it was all too much.
As for being "game", well as I've just recounted, she liked to dish it out but couldn't stand it coming back.0 -
I visit because it's fun to watch the bulls slowly degenerating into dribbling idiots.0

CarolT was not the victim, she was the main bully on this forum - years ago she had many allies, like !!!!!!? to back her up but one-by-one they left, and eventually she was on own and finally defeated.
If I had the time I would dig around the archives and bring up some very harsh examples of what CarolT was like.0 -

Thats the way they do business.
When they're not moaning about HPC moderation, they're slamming the report button here.
Like I always said, self awareness of a rock.0 -

Rents are rising, and even MSW conceded on the Today show this week that property has been, and will continue to be, an excellent long term investment.
Face it - the bears have finally capitulated and are now buying up.
The crash ended in early 2009 - house prices are up 10 - 15% since then. I know my portfolio certainly is.
The next crash is due in 12 -15 years. My money is on even brit having bought by then
Come on beryl, you know quite well jimmy the bear hasnt bought a house yet because house prices are still falling.0
