    Seems to me that you're showing an astonishing lack of self awareness. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Is the ":rotfl::rotfl:" a cue for us to laugh, or to remind yourself that you are trying to be funny ?

    And are you aware that you keep repeating the phrases "self awareness" and "ad hominem" in your posts ?

    RM has uncovered one interesting aspect though.
    Your desire to keep how much you pay on your mortgage a secret.
    And I've now gone and hit the nail on the head by discovering it's simply because you don't want to let on how much you had to borrow.... and presumbly therefore by deduction how much your deposit was.

    What was interesting in all of this was that right at the start I told geneer I didn't care whether he bought and I also told him that I've always thought his backstory morphed on a daily basis. He's shown an astonishing lack of awareness not to see what my agenda was really about.

    Yes, I don't believe anything geneer says, but that holds true for most people on internet forums. All you can do is pin them down to a single back story, even if it is a complete fabrication, to ensure that they cannot flip-flop during discussions. My aim was to get as much information out of him as I could on his latest new and improved back story.

    I've failed in that quest, but hopefully succeeded in proving to those who continue to argue with him how pointless it is - nothing at all rings true, he can't even get his own back story right.

    I feel that my work here is done. :)

    Please close the door behind you, thanks for your "help".

    Oh dear. Can someone please explain it to DervProf? He doesn't understand. :(

    LOL, spoiling for a fight DervProf? You're just like Devon - feeling left out because geneer has taken all your limelight. Poor thing. :(

    You seem to be full of belief in your ability to know what other forum members are thinking/feeling. Maybe you should give up the mind reading, given that most of what you say about me is inaccurate.

    Are you still smarting from the forum drubbing I gave you a couple of days ago when you ran off in tears shouting "RetardMan" (LOL, pathetic) over your shoulder as you left?

    Of course. It's funny how one's perception of those who flip and flop around on their back story will always be coloured isn't it? Those people who swear black is white in the face of logic?

    I'm sure you agree that people just lose more credibility by sticking to their patent nonsense.


    But ultimately, as Cleaver reminds those who take it a little too seriously, it's just internet nonsense. :D
