    voice your opinion all you want, but be prepared to back those opinions up with more than merely your own unique empirical situation, if you want people to actually take any notice of those opinions.

    I am very much against any personal attacks on any poster on this forum, there is simply no need.

    argue against the viewpoints, don't insult the poster.

    lol, I can't believe that, try re-reading the posts, then come back and tell me who first started attacking! Once again it was not me! I was the one being attacked! And if you look at my previous post where I explain to you why I don't think preices will fall it is not thing to do with my "own unique empirical situation". I think you really need to re-read my posts I have certainly backed up my opinions on numerous occasions with facts!
  • Firstly, we had an interest rate drop, what, last month? That will not be reflected in the market for some time yet, maybe about 3 months time from now! Just as when rates started to rise we didn't immediately see an affect i.e. the housing market slowing down.

    Secondly, house prices have fallen "slightly" before like in 2005, only to pick up again drastically! If you count the month of December as a month which generaly ALWAYS see's a slow down in the housing market, then that's only 2 months that have seen a decline.

    You could be right, there may be a correction in house prices by possibly as much as 10% but I would be surprised if they correct much more than that, on the other hand I am more inclined to think next year house prices will probably stay about the same if not rising by approximately 2-3% for the year. Whatever happens will probably depend on interest rates next year which I think will be cut 2 times in first half of the year!

    What should be remembered is most of the big UK banks have not altered their lending policies, sub prime mortgages have always played a very small part in their lending although the media would like you to think otherwise!

    Here is a post by me 2 posts ago certainly not quoting "my own unique empirical situation". Please just leave me alone m00m00 viewpost.gif !!!!

    I don't understand why I still can't voice my opinion of what I think will happen to the property market? I am not sayign I am right, I even said you could be! So what is wrong with that? Strange?????

    You've posted your opinion 86 times in the four days that you've been a member.

    You're taking the p*ss mate!

    Ignore the troll. If he genuinely wants to debate house prices, I suggest he goes to the House Price Crash thread and offers his insights there.

    And thats wrong because I disagree with you. Its wrong because I don't thingk there will be a "crash". You would not be complaining if I was saying "the property market is going to crash!"

    You could join him there then because you're no better than him or anyone on here. Who made you Queen?

    As stated previously I don't agree with all his views, but a forum with just one side of an argument is as dull as your Lewis Carroll quote (and no it doesn't make you look big and clever either).

    I'm happy to hear anyone's serious opinions on the subject of the thread. but personal attacks are against the spirit of mse and IRRELEVANT. And very dull.

    And yes, I do think he's a troll.

    Your hypocrisy astounds me. Look through your own posts above and you will see you are certainly not above personal attacks. Are yours in the spirit of mse or any less irrelevant or dull?

    You are obviously so full of your own self-importance that you blatantly tell others not to do what you do on here!

    And just because someone disagrees with you does not make them a troll.
