SCREBCB Troll Q&A
Chuck Ponzi June 11th, 2006
Hi all, with the increasing number of trolls hiding under our bridge and eating poo fed to them by unsuspecting posters, I am giving them full opportunity to bash and boohoo in this post so that others can freely post in other areas. This way, their shrinking home equity in no way impede their ability to feel like a real man.
The session will be a Q&A from John Doe…
Q: You must be a bitter renter.
A: Like most troll questions, this one starts out as a statement. Leaving me to defend myself. No such luck here.
Q: You sold your house too soon.
A: Yes, but now would be too late.
Q: Why do you run the blog, don’t you have better things to do with your time?
A: I do, I just purposefully neglect my family so that I can become even more embittered.
Q: If you had the stones, you’d post your real name. You must be a 16-y.o. in Indianapolis who can do nothing more than look on Google Earth.
A: You just nailed me.
Q: Do you hate California, or just Californians?
A: I’m a Californian… so I must just hate Californians. j/k. Actually, I love living in California, but I’m not too crazy about buying a 2 Bed house on a postage stamp lot for 750K. I’ll leave that for the immigrants to California (no, immigrants do not necessarily have to come from outside the country, and by judging the rest of the country, multiple families will need to live in that 2 bed I was just talking about.) More likely, we will have oil barons descending upon SoCal anytime soon, it just hasn’t been expensive enough for their tastes just yet. In addition, we will also have rich boomers retiring here….oh, wait, they’re already here? Uh, well, we’ll import some from China or something.
Q: I hope you die, you lousy, filthy commie.
A: Good question. I’m in my early 30’s, and I’m definitely going to die someday. Not much is going to happen in my life between now and then, so I might as well call it quits.
Q: You deleted my comment when I used words like *#$% and $*($@ and (*&@$!.
A: Yes, no potty mouth on SCREBCB. Have your mommy and daddy tell you what those words mean.
Q: You’ll never be able to buy a home in SoCal, you loser.
A: Sadly yes, my mid 6-figure income will alas, never buy me a home where I currently live. I will likely move out of state in a year or 2. Housing prices are set to skyrocket and an average condo will likely be $1M before the year is over. Right now I’m waiting until my company decides to move out of state.
Q: I’m leaving now, you fags are total idiots on SCREBCB.
A: Oh, please don’t go. We’ll miss your calm demeanor, your enjoyable personality, and uncommon wit so much.
Well, I guess that does it for troll Q&A. Maybe if we can get the little monster to come back some day, we’ll do another such interview.
Until then, we now return to our regularly scheduled programming of the SoCal housing crash in progress.

Notice the pick up in the rate of increase. Not looking good is it?
Hey John Doe,
Thanks for your amusing post.
Sorry about squabble with that utter tool in the other thread…I can’t stand jerkoffs like that coming in and getting offended because someone points out to them something bad about Cali or the US.
Thanks for the chuckles..keep it up!
This seems more like patting yourself on the back … or possibly you’re looking for some kind of validation. I only read you blog because the spokesman from The Norris Group is very informative. The others are just repeating the same crap, over and over.
Sorry, Anon,
Not sure how it could be construed as patting myself on the back. It just seems the internet trolls have begun to congregate at this site. I’d just as soon they posted to this string.
Yes, it seems that the Bubble Blogosphere has hit a bit of a creative lull. Mostly because it was such a radical idea a year ago, and some of the people are great contrarians, but now that it has hit the mainstream media, it doesn’t seem so radical like before. Mostly now, the other sites are about bashing housing.
I actually love houses, and would love to buy one where I live now. But for the forseeable future, I am financially better off just renting (besides, I live in a much better house renting than I could buying, and I am a lot more flexible professionally).
Hope I didn’t turn you off by the post. It’s just a joke guys, relax.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant for trolls.
Clearly, SCREBCB was infected and your post was a solid reaction.
I agree that the bubble blogs are in a bit of the doldrums and have attracted a bit more of a less educated crowd. Robert Cote disappeared, even though we disagreed on a number of things without his commentary it is less entertaining.
I think that the future of housing bubble blogs will be market focused and moderated like Lansner’s at OCR.
Good work John Doe and don’t let the newborn work you over too badly. I know I have got a 6 week old.
It’s unusual that one of my favorite housing blogs:
Americas Overvalued Blog…simply disappeared completely…I found that quite shocking since it had a great following and it was very eye-opening and witty.
God forbid anything be eye-opening in the US…it’s very unpatriotic.
Anyone know what happened to that blog? It was

NFTU:
Yep, a bunch of blogger blogs got pirated.
A poster at Ben’s blog explained it.
Although, I think that some of that was targeted against bubble bloggers, there have been 3-4 bubble blogs taken out recently.
Additionally, the replacement content seemed to point to the RE Industrial Complex since they were pirated and began advertising real estate services.
I will always be saddened by the people who destroy free speech because they disagree with it. Is there anything the average person can do to help the blogs that have been hit by these thought terrorists?
They probably pirated the bubble blogs in hopes there will be a “soft landing” if the bubble-talk comes to an end. This is unlikely, however, because nothing holds up an overvalued market long-term. Reversion to the mean is upon us, get used to it.
How can they hijack the blogs like that and replace them with RE blogs?
That’s exactly what happened to the overvalued blog…but who’s doing that?
Probably the same kind of racist turds I was arguing with in John Doe’s blog a few blogs ago…what a tool that ahole was…
Susan,
You are the woman of my thought. The idea of thought terrorism is a great one and timely as well.
I have encountered thought terrorists among bubble-meisters whether they want the housing bubble or the stock market bubble to continue. They can’t handle the facts that point to bursting of these bubbles.

I for one totally agree with Susan, and I think you’re part of the thought police. You’d shut people up in a heart beat if you could.
You people have certain key words you love to call others you disagree with:
Racist
Extremist
Fascist
Nazi
And on, and on, and on!
You people love to use these mean spirited words when you’re losing the debate.
Say what?
What the hell are you talking about? I’m not one the shutting people up…I’m saddened by these blogs being taken offline…are you crazy?
I’m not sure if you’re reading what I read correctly…I have no clue how you even came to that conclusion after specifically vocalized my concern and disappointment with blogs like these being taken offline.
I’m all for these blogs showing up these real estate agents, brokers, lenders, buyers and stupid sellers.
So please…don’t confuse me for someone else.
Warning, shameless plug:
Check out http://www.viewfromsiliconvalley.com for some blogging focused more on numbers & less on rhetoric.
Thanks!,

It seems the fox news culture of hate has influenced how we routinely express disagreement in our culture.
No doubt…I agree.
I’d like to know exactly who’s removing these blogs.
I really miss that America’s Overvalued Blog…that was such a cool blog and very informative and shed light on stuff that was truly ludicrously priced.
I’m thinking realtors or brokers complained directly or threatened to sue…
Focus on the So Cal Housing bubble!
Liquidity is drying up as we speak.
The credit spread is inverted.
Risky lending practices are no longer profitable.
The average Joe has access to less money each day
Must mean one thing :
SoCal real estate never goes down!
Speaking of going down, anybody been paying attention to gold lately? Next stop $500, then watch it fall like a set of car keys out the window from the 87th floor.
Clearly gold had become disconnected from fundamentals and is in the process of reverting to the mean, as all asset classes must. What goes up must come down. Don’t catch a falling knife or fall for a dead cat bounce.
Gold should hit resistance and come in for a nice soft landing at about $400. Maybe less.
Gold going down to $500? Hardly. Yes, it did dip precariously in the last few weeks, but that is only temporary. As the dollar continues to drop (it will) and the housing bubble pops (you can thank the fed rate increases and the junk credit industry for this, among other things)gold will continue to appreciate to $600, $700 and beyond. Buy some now while you have the chance!

Gold has broken through supports and is headed for sub $500.
Like any other bubble, commodities were in a bubble and “me-too” traders who jumped in before the June swoon will be taught a harsh lesson.
By the way, the USD has been on a bull run lately.
