Just last week one of my friends blamed the weak housing market on the housing bears – according to her the market would still be fine if we weren’t expressing our opinions in the media

Any psychologists out there?
Is anger and lashing out part of the process of accepting something bad?
For example, does a cancer patient get angry and lash out at the medical staff because somehow it is their fault?

I’ve also noticed the increased troll count this week
I’ve been chuckling all day about DesperateSeller’s post – what planet does that person live on? – this is the biggest credit/housing bubble in the history of the world but DesparateSeller feels a need to deny it
And then there is Raybyrnes who thinks that single guys with room-mates, gays / lesbians and retired military are enough to support the local housing market
I also noticed DontPanic’s post denying that WMC is going under – my immediate thought was “here’s someone who is affiliated with WMC trying to do damage control” – I tried to check how long DontPanic has been a poster but Rich doesn’t provide info about us (some sites would show how long a poster has been around) – DontPanic posted the first denial at 9am and then came back and did another denial around 5pm – was the 2nd denial to reassure us or to reassure DontPanic? (as an aside, I did a quick Google search and didn’t find anything about WMC going under except for Rich’s site – of course, if there isn’t anything in the media how does DontPanic know that WMC isn’t going under?)
