    they have allowed one nutcase bear to remain so the rest can pick on him.

    Are you calling yourself a nutcase?

    I'd be surprised if you are banned - just create another account.
    p.s. this is not directed at you sibley - of course you are banned for your inane posts, not because you are a bull.

    It doesn't really matter either way.

    The whole HPC thing including website and negative comment campaign in internet newspaper comments sections has run it's course. It's old hat now and very boring.

    They had their 5 minutes of fame. A group of nutters spouting out garbage nearly got what they wanted due to the credit crunch.

    Like a broken clock being right twice a day, things were actually set up for house prices to crash.

    The problem for the HPC followers was the fact they started gloating before prices went down. The showed their true colours and tarred normal working people with the same brush as rouge landlords. Really nasty bunch on there.

    People like myself didn't like what we were reading hence the bull/bear teams arguing on internet forums like this.

    The government stepped in and moved the goalposts for them. I said from the start that rich people like MP's won't lose their money. Let's be honest, most rich people in the UK are involved in the property market. One thing I have learned in life is that the working man rarely gets one up on the people who can pull the strings.

    No. It's got a handful of members now.
    Nobody cares about it.

    The best thing that site could do would be to invite the bulls back.

    Hello Sibley. How are your Bulls? Has Ting Tong stiched them back yet?

    I don't know. Haven't seen her much lately.
    I took my Thai girlfriend with me to Australia. We had a great holiday.

    What have you been up to then?
