the economist and the housing bubble, page-45

I went Christmas shopping this afternoon, to avoid the madding crowd and have just read this nonsense.

To demonstrate the arrogance of one MoneyTree, here is his post from another forum:

MoneyTree:

"As a 'commercial' member of this forum (another forum, not HC), I post here for one purpose. I have a product to sell. (Shock horror, someone trying to make money? Golly gosh, say it isnt so.....we are all communists here arent we?)

Unfortunately, this membership base appears to have the mentality of "lets get rich off others without paying anyone a cent!" I have posted on other forums and had a much higher sales rate.

When I was a member of a popular property forum, I sold 30 courses in 2 months.

As a recent member of another forum (synapse) I sold 4 or 5 courses in a month.

Despite my being here for a few years, I have only sold 3-4 courses.

I am seriously considering leaving this forum as my posting seems to be a waste of time. There are too many people here leeching off others. Either people here dont have any money to invest, or are just too tight to spend money on getting educated. I know that many of the members are quite young and this may be a factor.

As an advertiser, I dont see any reason to be a sponsor to this site. People here need to stop thinking they can get everything for nothing. I paid $6,000 for my education, and Im glad I did.

MoneyTree"


My comments:

In that forum, I avoided "MoneyTree" as I found him so full of himself. To me, he is merely a seller of "snake oil", preying on the unwary.

In another post, "MoneyTree" was renting in Sydney and moved to Brisbane for cheaper housing. While renting in Brisbane, he found property prices rose quickly and became bitter and twisted. Is it any wonder that he hates high property prices?

Not sure whether it is the same "MoneyTree" but his style of arrogant (bitter) posting, appears the same.

I now place him on "Ignore" button.
