You did tell me that you were unhappy with me removing your response to Jamie today. I know that you did not quote the deleted post, but only replied to it, in a good way, before it was deleted.
Yes, that's right Bill/Thommo/Richard aka ??? was good enough to wish Jamie a Happy New Year.
I read Jamie's post, and I don't think IT was offensive.
I read some of RichardC's comments, and albeit many have merit, the line which accuses property investors of lacking "backbone" for speculative investment was IMO far more insulting than any made by Jamie.
It would be a shame to see you drop off the forum Bill/Thommo/Richard (but if I was going to be 100% honest; I won't miss you, just as you wouldn't me...okay shoot me, but I have to tell it like it is right???)
Anyhow, putting my feelings aside for the good of others......
Many of your posts contribute a volume of (shares) knowledge that is beyond that of many (hell, even mine!!
) but unfortunately, what you sometimes contribute in value is lost in a single sweep of arrogance often misinterpreted as "gloating".
Perhaps your NY resolution Bill/Thommo/Richard or whomever you wish to return as, would be to practice the art of TACT thereby when posting pearls of wisdom, the messages will be received with the intent you wished them delivered/conveyed. In a positive way???
Happy New Year to you all, and FWIW....come on guys, chill out!!
Cheers,
Jo
