    More than that, if HP continuing to stagnate is part of a general picture of things not changing much from how they have been for the last few years, then most owners will mainly be happy about interest rates staying low, which makes a lot more difference to their everyday lives than anything that HP might do.

    Indeed, personally I spend much more time thinking about how I can shrink my mortgage rather than what my flat is notionally worth.

    Yes, just as we don't get the deeply disturbed, obsessive, relentless trolling by certain hpc based crashaholics who claim to be homeowners, yet spend half their life on HPC, Estate Agent Today, MSE, Mumsnet, preaching the mantra of house price crash in ever more strident and desperate tones.

    I'd have thought you would get that very well ;)

    Like a small minority of posters desperately repeating the false claim that prices are "falling and will continue to fall"....

    So why are you trolling all these sites preaching the discredited hpc mantra?

    As I said...emotional investment.

    Yes, we know, you're emotionally invested in seeing prices fall.

    But the crash ended 3 years ago..... Time to move on?;)

    The only thing I can safely predict that will happen in 2013 in this forum is that Bulls will continuously mention the HPC website over and over and over again.

    Of course they aren't really bothered about that website one iota.

    Yep you got me. In the breaks I have from my incessant trolling on MSE, I like to lurk there, wishing I could join in, before coming back here to report what rotters they all are.

    No problem.
    You learn many things in here and one thing I have learned this year that in order to be a bull, you must refer to another website.

    As for trolling, whatever floats your boat in my opinion.
    As long as your happy.
    People should be able to take anyones posts seriously or with a pinch of salt.
