sdceller, I agree, people just chill a little, make your point, even argue your point, but save the venom for the political threads. Rt.66, you are quickly becoming the most annoying participant on the boards, it’s painful to read your posts sometimes. Even when you make a valid point your are such a jerk about it that it turns me off, makes me want to ignore everything you say even when there may be some valuable info. I wonder if others feel the same way? Ever notice how sdr and I are the only ones who will argue with you, the casual posters are afraid of you and it’s not because of your intelliegence (which i don’t dispute), it’s because you will go all crazy and make a bunch of mean spirited posts before anyone can reply, fire off insults to anyone with a different viewpoint, that’s not valuable to anyone. At least once before rich has had to tell you to calm down, and you’ve ventered there again, meditate, calm down, and engage in meaningful discussions that we all know you are capable of.
I’m sure you will dismiss this as my succumbing to your vastly superior position and you will see it as confirmation that you are right and everyone else is wrong. I’ve debated with all sorts of people on these boards for a few years, and told them when they have a point, learned from some, changed my mind because of them and even shared an adult beverage or a meal with some because i value their opinion even when it differs from mine. We discuss life, sports, family, stocks and a lot of the times, real estate. In the end we are more alike than different. We were drawn here because our minds couldn’t grasp the bubble, we resisted it, we felt alone and we found solace with each other. Now as it is unwinding, we still have different opinions, we live in different markets, have different experiences and we like to share them, make jokes, share ideas and not feel alone.
How do you not see this for what it is? How is it that your posts (err, attacks) are the same everytime? I can’t predict most people’s posts but I can write yours before you do, I know exactly what you are going to say, what you are going to quote and what will make you crazy. If you’d like I can respond to this post for you if it will save you time.
I had a very funny satirical response to my own post prentending I was you, but I just hit the delete button a few hundred times because i know it will just enrage you. While entertaining for me and probably a few others, that is not my point, I truly hope that you back up a little, evaluate what your purpose for posting is, look at yourself a little and take a different tact at this whole online thing.
maybe I’m wrong, maybe all of “my people” have gotten what they wanted from this place and moved on, maybe the majority of the posters and readers are “your people” and you write what they want to hear. I wish enorah was here because I feel a shift coming, something will change soon and I’m not sure what it is yet, maybe everything you say will come true exactly as you predict it, if it does, I’ll congratulate you and tell you that you were right, maybe even I’ll adjust my strategy becuse of it, I have before with other posters and influences, your style makes it hard for me to swallow however. I do wonder if you will do the same if it someone else that is right?
