Does this qualify?
Just trying to be a good forum member by helping out.RenovationMan wrote: »So many things wrong with this comment. Let's go through them.
1. The obvious one is why Graham feels he has to jump in. That's because he loves his 'Bear' gang. It's the only time in his life that he has ever felt part of a community or ever had 'friends'. He would die for the bear gang if required. He is also desperate for attention, and feels left out if he i not in the centre of things.0 -

Thanks for the help JB. As can be seen from my comment in this thread and from the link that JB has kindly supplied, I stated that "Graham loves HIS bear gang" and "you [graham] love all this 'bears' and 'bulls' gang stuff".
It's graham (and admittedly a few others) who want to pigeonhole people into separate gangs and so Graham puts HIMSELF into the 'bear gang' (and posts accordingly).
I hope that clears things up JB. I assume from Graham's non-response that he already saw this and decided to remain quiet? I did emphasise the "I" in my question "Where did I state you were in a group" to indicate where I was taking this, I guess Graham understood, where perhaps JB didnt?0 -

What?
Put the spade down. It's embarassing.Where did I state you were in a group" to indicate where I was taking this, I guess Graham understood, where perhaps JB didnt?0 -

Your own quote has been given to you on a plate. Even you can't try to twist and dig yourself out of that one! Though the attempt should go down as a record.
Oh dear, you're grasping that like a drowning man grasps a lifebelt! :rotfl:
Let's take it slowly because, let's face it, it's you I'm talking to...
You have it in your head that people on here belong in two rival 'gangs', so when I mock you about you loving being in a 'gang', I'm not not agreeing with the fact that there are gangs or that you are in one. I'm simply mocking you because you think you are in one and because you need it so much. :rotfl:0 -

Right, so you are telling me what I think, and then basing your argument around what you have just made up....
...Again?
Rather than type it all again.... We've covered points 1 & 2. Just point 3 to go...Have you noticed that all your argument appear to rely on three key things? You seem to build an argument around them in every post.
1. Make things up to create the character you wish to argue against, knowing you can trounce all over this made up character.
2. Pretend you are completely and utterly dense and cannot read the words on your screen and need them explaining to you, split down sentence by sentence.
3. Rely on "so you are saying", "so you believe", "so you advocate" in response to a paragraph, or sometimes a single sentence to remove all context. That single sentence or paragraph completely isolated from the rest of the post, when clearly, what was written in the posts entirity didn't even relate to what you suggest is being said.
Just amazes me how you can trip over your own feet quite so often!
Have fun, renoman, it's like a broken record, and one that I won't keep playing.0 -
LOL, you're so funny Graham. :rotfl:
No wonder they call you Mr Muddle, you're doing your best to try and deflect and wriggle away from the simple point that you group people into 'bulls' and 'bears' and you group yourself as a 'bear'.
I'm amazed you're even trying to muddle your way out of that because its a fact known by everyone on this board!Graham_Devon wrote: »Have fun, renoman, it's like a broken record, and one that I won't keep playing.0 -

Ah yes.
Of course.
Graham was putting himself and others into "gangs" by the fact that YOU mentioned he did that.
Not one of your strongest rebuttals.
:cool:
How about this one.... is this another example of Graham throwing himself into a "bear gang" by featuring in one of your posts?RenovationMan wrote: »You know GD, you're the only bear I really believe has stuck to his principles. I think that's what I liked about you when I first joined this site.
Contrast your attitude to geneers, who is already revelling in his HPI since (allegedly) buying in 2009:
So much for all those years of posts about how HPI was evil and damaged families and how the country needs a correction. He'll be stood at dinner parties next with a glass of wine talking about how HPI is increasing his wealth.
Anyway, I think I have my answer. Once a bear buys he turns into a Bull, either secretly, or like our friend geneer, publically. The allure of HPI is like a drug to some people.0 -

I'm confused by what you're saying here JB, please help.
Are you saying that Graham Devon doesn't class himself as a 'bear'?
Really? :eek:0 -

Careful, you'll have pictures instead of words in a minute if you carry on like that!0
