Hello? You are on a thread that I started. You clearly have something going on with you and for that, I hope you get help. But you keep notching it up a level and now you are at at a level that no one is going to cosign. No one is bullying you. Every interaction I have only responded to you, nothing else. If you don't want the smoke, don't put your hand in the oven. And it was nice smoke. It's just not like a warm pat on the back. That's not me.

I have responded to thousands of posts over the years. I like to help people. Not everyone takes it the right way, but that's not a me thing, it's a them (and you) thing. To bring up bullying and suicide is not anything coming to me, it's showing off that you may need to seek some help if this works you up enough to talk about it.

I hope you are ok, but please stop posting. You are digging yourself a bigger and bigger hole each time. You will not "beat" me on posting. You came to this forum that I started, I am just responding.

If you go back and listen to the first time I was a guest on the BP Podcast (yes, I have been on twice and no that's not a brag, it's just a fact), a quarter of the show was about how people can succeed in the forums here. It might help you, just like this post should have helped you.

Either way, if you are feeling unstable because of it, please just lay it down and leave it alone. It's just entertainment to most of us and again, if you go and read the initial post, no one would know how you got to this point. No one.

 The more you post, the more I find you overtly sensitive (at least toward others feelings as you say you cannot be bullied but not sure anyone other than you felt initial post tried to bully anyone).  I usually would not state such (that you are coming across sensitive) but if any of Jonathon’s initial comments were addressed at me, I would not be offended or consider it bullying.  Maybe I have thick skin and, as I indicated, I think there is typically no value in calling someone sensitive.  

I also reserve the term bully for a lot worse words than any I have seen from either party in this thread.   

>If someone wants to BULLY and I happen to witness it, well, what a sad day for them.

Not sure how you find this comment not to describe a bully.  

I question if the defender of the perceived meek (which I am not sure there are anyone that felt bullied in this thread) has become as big a bully as the accused bully (which I am not sure there is a bully in this thread). I suspect you are standing up for an imagined victim.

I am not saying any of this trying to bully anyone as much as show how you are coming across to me.  Maybe I am alone in my feeling, but I suspect not.  

Best wishes

This is a serious post? You just took a regular forum post to help people where you and your friend have been hyperbolic the entire time, with only me responding to you, to a bullying/suicide thing? Please seek the help you need.

Let's try to conclude the thread, as it holds no value anymore.

The light always shines on an invitation. What could go wrong with hopping on a Zoom? Nothing. I was open to letting these two guys make their best case, maybe they learn something.

This is your standard fare anonymous forum poster BS hiding behind privacy concerns.

The only reason it's still going this way is because they won't come out from behind the curtain and just have a regular conversation and somehow turn a Zoom invitation into some type of threat or aggrieved behavior. As I said in the original post, this is fragility.

Go back and read the first post and tell me where that was offensive. Everything after that came from clapback and fragility and just because I won't let the stupidity go, it continues. For everyone's sake, stop replying.

what makes a forum where people can talk to other people openly is that people can voice their expression, sometimes with a little bit of bullying, I think that's acceptable if not going too extreme, I get bullied too after helping them to decompose problems. Sometimes you can't do anything other than just laugh.  But there are interesting fun vibes here at BP when specific people interact, I can even predict what they're going to say and what these two folks going to debate ;-) , the forum is like a fruit market, where everyone is throwing their opinion and then for an answer that you're looking for, you write down that answer in your brain. For some specific people, I try not to argue a lot because some folks have a relentless spirit to force their point lol but rest assured they are all loving real estate (and stock market lol) haha

My opinion was he attempted to add levity/humor to a thread that is getting too personal.  In addition the Kens likely more fit the experienced “bully” group more than the “sensitive” newbie group.  

newbies will not catch the reference to Ken.  It was the only post in this that got a chuckle out of me.

I think the original post in this thread was an attempt to help.  I agree some people are sensitive, but I virtually never see value in calling it out.  I also agree there may be some light bullying, but if it was directed at me I would not give a $hit.    I do not see a benefit in this case of calling someone sensitive or someone a bully.  This thread has largely become your bullying me, you are a sensitive cry baby. 

note in a different thread, I have called out a user for continuously making up data in an attempt to make his case. Calling him out IMO is different because he appears to be intentionally deceitful trying to make his case. I believe that warrants being called out on so others do not believe his made up stats and succumb to his view based on made up data. I have some wish that at some point in the future, if a user points out made up data and attaches a link to a reliable source (NAR, case Shiller, neighborhoodscout, Rentometer, etc) showing the data is made up, that BP flags the post as being erroneous. This would prevent newbies from being misled believing made up data that they found on BP.
