Actually I don't remember asking you to leave. I asked a series of questions to try and work out where you are coming from, and I suggested that you question your own motives for being here. If you feel that your motives gel with the intent of this site, then you are quite welcome to stay. If...

Forgive me if I haven't read all of your posts under all of your aliases over the years. Also please forgive me if I am disinclined to search back through all of your thousands of posts trying to locate those little gems of information. I was just curious.

I know it's largely semantics, but I do differentiate between discussion about weakening economy and falling property prices ... and a "sky is falling" attitude where all investors are going to hell (which is what I refer to as D&G). We do have an "economics" forum for a reason - discussion...

In my opinion and experience, someone who wants to be a devils advocate is often just looking for a reason to be negative and critical rather than actually adding value to the discussion. I much prefer constructive criticism, not just criticism. I don't want to be told it can't be done - I want...
