Perry: You are right on with the non-confrontional call. However, the accusation of being “mellow” is even less common than the accusation of being optimistic. 🙂

Radelow: Thanks for the offer but let’s let the folks talk about whatever they want as long as it’s “contained” (you know, like subprime) to the off topic forum.

JG: No knuckle rapping was aimed at you or anyone in particular — we are just trying a new approach so that the forum will hopefully meet everyone’s needs. In the future, though, attempts to incite o– t—- debates may be met with an appearance of The Ruler whether camouflaged with dashes or not…

JWM , just because Scruffy’s original post was obnoxious and completely devoid of intellectual merit doesn’t make it ok for you to be even more obnoxious (and not just to Scruffy, who admittedly would deserve it, but also to people who have disagreed with you in a perfectly civil manner).

So why don’t the both of you just knock it off.

It seems that you are posting relatively content-less messages every couple days to bump this thread (and thus the dozen links to your website) to the top of the thread list. We welcome links to sites of interest, but we would appreciate a less spammy approach.

Thanks,
The Management

Sorry, I deleted an obscene spam comment, and all replies to that comment were deleted. Didn’t know it worked that way. Apologies to anyone who replied with actual “content”…

Tried turning off the bold but no dice.

I went in and closed the tag on the original post so the boldness is fixed — thanks for trying to help, Concho.

To everyone else, whom PS condescendingly refers to as “the boys” but whom a normal person would refer to as “people with social skills,” I thank you sincerely for your kind words of support.

The whole thing would have been avoided if Rich had simply answered…

I love it. That’s right, it’s all my fault and you are blameless.

It could have also been avoided if you had a shred of tact or decorum. But I suppose I am wasting my time by trying to explain that to you yet again.

As celebrities are well aware, negative publicity is better than none.

What, are you the next Paris or Britney? This is an internet forum, not Hyde.

Keep telling yourself that, though, if you want to justify acting like a jerk.

Heck, some people might even accuse me and Rich, with Brooke as accomplice, for orchestrating this entire post to increase traffic to this site and increase anticipation of my own debut.

That you would suggest this shows just how delusional you are. Actually, this entire post shows how delusional you are but it was nice of you to compress it into a single sentence for those just joining. Although I suppose at this point many people ARE anticipating your much-heralded “debut” — not to visit your site, but to be spared nonsense like this on mine.

As for “lots of people thought powayseller was Rich in disguise,” it is my most fervent hope that this is another one of your fabrications.

You are unbelievable. You didn’t ask anything. You just posted something that was wrong, without having all your facts and without bothering to try to get those facts. And then when I asked you to stop, you posted it again! That’s why I was angry (and I even admitted I overreacted because the WSJ article you cited also misrepresented things, and I apologized).

If you had asked my in a polite manner up front I would have provided you with the info, although not on the public forum (because, for the third time, not that I expect you to get it any more this time than the last two times, I am not interested in posting my personal financial info on a public forum).

Now, I see you are still unable to get it, and you are equating my valuing my own privacy with a lack of integrity:

What does matter to me very much, is that he has the integrity and courage to be open about this, and not hide behind “privacy”.

Go on and continue being obtuse if you want, but please be obtuse about something else. If you attack my integrity again that will be your very last post on this site.

sdcellar and others, thanks for the support…

You are now doing that thing you do where you stop listening to the person you are arguing with.

I will repeat, one last time:

1. I consider my personal financial matters to be irrelevant to the topic of this site, which is the economics of the SD housing market.
2. Unlike you, I do not feel compelled to discuss my personal financial matters on a public forum.
3. I specifically think it’s a little crass to brag about investment gains on a public forum.

This would make perfect sense to anyone with any sense of decorum, but apparently not to you.

So now what you’ve done is to imply that because I won’t give you a specific percentage gain, that must mean my gains were 3% or even 1% per year. So you are effectively badgering me into revealing my personal info by implying something false, lest people believe I gained 3% per year.

So having been backed into a corner by your complete lack of propriety or respect, here are my returns:

– I sold my San Diego property for ~60% more than my purchase price, holding period 2 years
– I sold my Austin property for ~30% more than my purchase price, holding period 4 years

Those are from memory but pretty close.

For some reason you think that because you compliment someone one day, that makes it ok to insult that person the next day. That’s not how it works.
