Hopefully, when you realise just what you're digging yourself into, you might have a word with yourself. But probably not.
Digging myself into?
Erm..... nothing?
You've got a larger mortgage than you want to let on about. For some reason you see it as undermining your previous positions from other forums. (Quite what the position is I'm not sure, I dont use any other forums, but I'd imagine it's been the whole "I'll be buying a house outright soon" type thing)
The whole "RM is a nutter" smokescreen doesn't wash.
Not that he isn't one, he is, but you know as well as he does, and indeed everyone else, that it is anonymous data.
Nope, I'm sure you're an overstretched debt junkie.

Too true, we all must be to spend so much time on this board, arguing about the same things over and over in an internet equivalence of Ground Hog Day.JonnyBravo wrote: »Nope, I'm sure you're an overstretched debt junkie.

You know, the only people I tend to believe on here who have 'good luck stories' such as geneers alleged buying at the bottom of the market, are the ones who also have some 'bad luck stories' such as a huge mortgage debt to counterbalance them out. Not everyone is lucky in every thing they do, unless they are making it up.0 -

As I keep saying, he's not worth the candle anymore, he's third tier on the discussion front. I argue at the top table now. I argue with geneer! :cool:
Allthough you like to call it ignoring geneer.
Page after page after page of good honest ignoring.

Don't thank me RM.
It was sarcasm.
"Uncovering" something you've been advised on multiple occasions is not all that impressive.
Certainly not as impressive as your christmas meltdown.0 -

Yes. Digging yourself into it. And now you're there, you kinda have to run with it.
So now you find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having to pretend that the fact that you incorrectly think I have a bigger mortgage than I "let on" - despite the fact that you know neither the value of the mortgage or my income - is a momentous decisive victory in the feud you've got going in your head.
Good luck with that.
Oh, and the whole "RM is a nutter" doesn't wash, despite the fact that "he's a nutter". Inspired levels of pointlessness there.
You outdo yourself.0 -

Thought I'd already confirmed this. Its an enormous amount of fun watching you paint yourself into a corner then try to get out of it with the comedy flip flopping.
"You don't own"
to
"the width of the rectangle shows your mortgage is too big".
to
"why do you care what I think".
You're your own worst enemy.RenovationMan wrote: »
Seems to me that you're showing an astonishing lack of self awareness. :rotfl::rotfl:
I rather think that an astonishing lack of awareness is whats demonstrated by some chap banging on about giving someone "a drubbing" despite the fact that they've been on the receiving end of a counter argument so effective they've been forced to conclude that the least humiliating response is to ghost out of an extended dialogue they initiated.

Right. Page after page after page after page of not caring.
The fact that you drop "self aware" into every other post is of course highly amusing.RenovationMan wrote: »
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.
See. It wasn't just a boss eyed denial of the self evident with tortured justifications getting ever more outrageous with each and every post.
He was merely trying to "pin down my back story".
So, you know, it hasn't been a humiliating pointless exercise from an embittered denialist at all. He was doing it all for truth and Justice.RenovationMan wrote: »
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.
But yes. It is quite pointless arguing when you are demonstrably wrong.
Which is why you appear to have received a bit of a "drubbing" on this occasion.
You were of course warned.RenovationMan wrote: »

Tell me chaps. Does there come a point when you'rer scratching around far any kind of fallback position, no matter how desperate, that you
receive that flash of clarity, that rare moment of self awareness, when you realise just what its come to?
The answer to this question is of course yes, but far too late.:DI want you to think about this, and consider if tin-foil hat wearing denialist is a role that suits you.
I suspect a humiliating climb down now won't be as bad as a humiliating climb down later.
I did try and let him off lightly.0
