Perhaps you just shouldn't make pointless personal attacks on people.

If you're being a dick, which you quite clearly were, then it's perfectly reasonable to point that out. What were my other insults? You, on the other hand, seemed very angry at Roberto for no good reason and made things very personal indeed. Strange to say the least.

I didn't delete Yup1. He is still with us:

Anyway, I finally finished working on a way to just suspend users without deleting them, so I'm more likely to use that from now on.

Quick, look over here! Look at how great I am! Roberto, if you only knew the kind of lot that many readers on here are carrying. Your Phoenix empire would barely carry the monthly cost for a regular 2bd condo in many metro areas. Give it a rest. Go help your students skip a grade. That would be more honorable than calling people names over and over on this site.

I teach college not grade school, and honestly, comparing an income producing series of investments to inflated living costs? what does one have to do with the other? your insults simply show your jealousy.

Believe me. I have nothing to be jealous of anyone. You included. My life is rich with everything I ever desired. I have been blessed and remind myself every day of my good fortune. You could still put more of you obvious passion and energy into helping your students, rather than trying to bend time here on this forum. Your students would at least appreciate your efforts. :)

Yup is gone Patrick. I made Yup1

Well, I didn't delete him deliberately, but maybe the auto-nuke function got him.

New users can be classified as spammers and nuked based on the characteristics of their first few comments, like posting a lot of links or using spammy keywords or posting from a foreign country.

Yup was not new and had 7 threads, and at least several hundred comments.

I am not claiming that I have never been a dick on here. What about you and roberto? Looking back at this conversation would you say roberto was never a dick? Yourself?

I find it interesting that his blog is completely at odds with his posting here. Go look at his blog.

Fact (blog)Sept 16, 2010 Phoenix in trouble prices will decline for 6 months

Fact (blog)Oct 16, 2010 I am still BEARISH on housing

Fact (blog)Nov 14, 2010 QE2 is not going to help home prices

FACT posted here Nov 15, 2010 I NOW HAVE 3 HOMES UNDER CONTRACT

How many times is it that you've repeated this point? What isn't clear in the link you posted? He's still saying he's negative about housing at that time, 'but hey, I'm buying 3 condos that are all cheaper than a fairly average family car and all have excellent rates of return' to paraphrase. You do know that you can be pessimistic on the whole but as an investor still find bargains.

Have you read his blog? He is posting to it claiming to be a professional. You don't give out professional advice, while doing the opposite, unless you work for Goldman Sachs!

I was also responding to another users post so why don't you STFU ;)

No, I wouldn't say I've been a dick. I said in one post that you were coming across as a dick and a douche bag. One post. I didn't say you were a dick or a douche bag but that it was the way you were coming across. There's a difference. You, however, immediately called me a dick amongst other things. And yes, Roberto is invariably over sensitive and often acts like an ass, but you were deliberately provoking him for no reason (as have others). He bought some condos. He's been transparent about it. He brags about it when attacked. Big fucking deal. He's buying very cheap properties with what appear to be fantastic rates of return. Why do you and others get so worked up about that?

It's a fucking amateur blog read by a handful of people. Professional advice? He said he bought a few houses in the 90s and sold them in 2005. Big time shit.

You just come across that way.

There you go. You're learning. The thing is though, I was just pointing out the problems with what you were saying. I'm not quite sure how that makes me all of the above. Perhaps you'd care to explain.

So it is totally cool to insinuate that someone is being a dick, but it is totally not cool to say they are actually being a dick.

Can you send me your forum book of your etiquette so I can burn it!

I wasn't insinuating anything. You'd posted up a string of very douchey and dickish posts. Everyone can see that simply by reading through this thread. I just stated the obvious. You couldn't hold your hands up and say 'yes, I was a bit OTT.' Instead, of course, you decided to respond by posting a string of personal insults. You've moaned throughout this thread about being insulted, but you've been the one doing the vast majority of the insulting. You were the one who posted a completely unnecessary and very personal attack on Roberto. And yet here you still are bleating away. Give it a fucking rest, why don't you?

It would entirely depend on what I'd been doing, don't you think? And as you've quite clearly been posting very dickish comments, and have continued to post very dickish comments, I think it's fair to say that you've been acting like a dick.

I think you're confusing me with yourself. Anyway, I'm very bored with your personal insults, so I'm going to call it a night. Enjoy yourself.

Wow it sure has gotten quiet since I linked robertoaribas rental FAIL!

Bruce Norris from SoCal told his clients to go all in in 2011

There is a guy here in the Seattle area who started buying in 2010 because the prices were just too good.

Then he bought in Las Vegas, and Reno. His group has looked at Tempe, and Phoenix, but there are just way too many properties to choose from.

I think the big problem here is that investors have a different mind set than mom, dad, and the kids. You can buy a steal of a deal if you look for them.

There is nothing wrong with that.

While regularly motivated sellers may have dried up, there are plenty of individuals, corporations, and institutions that are more than willing to unload.

We all have our own take about what's going on, but we should be working on that.

You are shitforbrainsallinmotherfucker. Now you come on here and try to get suckers to buy into your fucking game that you have rigged for you to win. You get access to capital buy low and sell high.

To wit - some will give up, some will hold out just a bit longer, and some will vascilate

I think they will follow herd mentality as usual and at a certain point all give up.

BTW, great post.

Obviously there is stark contrast between an IQ of 144 and shear brilliance

like it means something coming from you.

I believe you made a mistake deleting Yup's account. Yup is negative about the housing market, but by no means he's a troll. I don't know what he said to get his account deleted, but I don't think that's right. He's not like War or Darryl.

yup is the same person behind war, darrel in phoenix, liarwatch and possibly many other screen names.

"yup" got owned by Roberto today though. it was hilarious to watch.

I don't believe yup1 is the same person as darrel in phoenix, liearwatch, etc. I did think so after the first post or two, and that is partially why I jumped right to rude responses. However, after reading more posts I don't believe so; the use of language is different. Yup is his own person.

Yup :)

That response makes me think it is Darrell.

robertoaribas says

darrel never even bothered to read posts, he simply posted one liners after everything...

Speaking of one liners - anyone know what happened to this poster "Reader"

/about.php?user_ID=22311

Looks like he regisered in Nov 2011 & for the first year was mostly a "reader" and not much of a poster.

Then, around Sept 1, he erupted - going on an epic near 1,000 post bender in about 2 months time. Everything was one liner after one liner - along with heavy use of the word "shite".

It was incredible to watch as he kept up his 30+ post a day regimen. Of the 355 pages of registered pat.net users, he ended up on page 2 in terms of comments made. In 2 months time, he posted more than some people who were regular contributors over the last 4-5 years!

Then, like a neutron star he imploded. Last post Nov 17, looks like he rolled up shop and deleted the name "reader" so just his ID number 37108605 remains.

He probably got an offer to buy a house with no money down. Then, even before the closing was cold, he got a HELOC and promptly got trapped in the hull of his new ski boat drifting around the fingers of Lake Shasta. Luckily he filled the hull with booze and slim Jims so he might survive the winter in time to be rescued. By that time the house would have dropped 10% in value. ;)
