    I notice exactly the same thing on Manchester United's Red Cafe forum.

    All the posts seem to be supporting Manchester United, yet as soon as I try to post a comment against them they refuse to display it.

    :cool:

    That's a better analogy than you think it is, an avid Manchester United fan who dares slate Darren Felcher would be shouted down there, it truly is the football equivalent of HPC.

    It gets a bit dull that people keep posting on here about HPC. You are copping the flak for that.

    We're normally as friendly as any other forum, i.e. clique ridden and aggressive towards new posters. We're ok once you get to know us though.

    I get your point. Having done a search, I now realise that.

    However, I do see some merit in having a post like the above here - purely to let those who lurk in forums but don't register and post that they may not be getting the full picture when on the other forums.

    That being said, I think this post is played out a bit so it's time to let it drop off the front page :D

    Does anyone else notice that, when you post on HPC's forum, bearish posts are generally approved and then displayed.

    However, moderately bullish posts are shot down by people asking to "provide evidence that prices will stabilize or rise in the near future". Then, when you provide a post with such evidence, it isn't approved and noone see's it.

    No wonder the forum is so bearish - the bullish posts just aren't displayed.

    The above is all in relation to Northern Ireland where prices are currently over 50% down from peak.

    Sounds a bit like the oposite of this very forum?

    Red Cafe is a United forum that welcomes all comers, maybe you are making an offensive post? You should try posting on RAWK (Liverpool forum), then again you probably do :)

    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
