Somersoft Forum – Your Opinion!

Leo, I was T.M.A. with the same signature over there.

A lot of the information provided at Somersoft is incorrect or incomplete and when someone tries to correct it, they are silenced very quickly.

This time it was because I outlined that you could gear 100% on shares through managed funds and argued that real estate agents should get a flat commission. The pack attacked and I responded. I get the boot and the pack gets their excitement for this week.

The Somersoft regulars are the biggest bunch of over sensitive internet sooks I have ever come across and I take great pleasure in tormenting them. The mods over there are just ridiculous (excluding one or two which I respect greatly). It is a classic example of small man syndrome enforcing what they believe to be some sort of ‘power’.

What they are not aware of at Somersoft is that I have never ceased being a member there. I use multiple ISPs, IP Addresses and Usernames all over the net and they will never find them all. It is quite funny watching them think they are smarter than everyone else.

If you think they are miles ahead for shutting down any strong and decent challenge to their comments, then I feel concerned. Most of the members there are also members here. They seem to feel threatened as they are forever referring to comments from this site.

In any case, I will let them know my other names at one of their meetings that I have been invited to (under a different name) in the past should I ever decide to attend one in the future.

Leo, I am actually working on a very long project on the computers so I do not have much of a social life at the moment.

Just to address some of your other comments…

If you think people cop it hard here, wait until you step over the line at Somersoft. It is ridiculous.

As for wraps, I am not a fan of them and have no problem here when I speak about them adversely.

As for worshipping the host, I think Steve will be the first to tell you that if he ever experiences a break down, it would be my fault. I am always ball-busting Steve for one reason or another but I keep that in email. I certainly do not worship Steve or anyone else for that matter.

Have you actually read my posts? I ask probing questions all the time. So do many others and they are all still here. Try it at Somersoft and watch what happens.

By the way, the cult or pack that you talk of consists of posters who regularly attend Somersoft. I personally think they have an alterior motive for doing this sort of thing and I always hoped they would just stay at Somersoft.

As for newbies copping it, you will never hear it from me unless I think it is someone coming in with a ghost name that I have had a disagreement with just to cause trouble. This happens a lot. An IP trace usually quickly reveals who they are.

So why are you defending Somersoft if you are a ‘non-poster’ over there as well? What has made you feel that you can’t post there?

As for Somersoft being ahead on knowledge, experience, honesty, transparency, cleanliness and maturity, I think you are way off the mark here.

And finally, what is dishonest about the host of this forum selling things? It is his site, he pays for it, the maintenance of it, the content for it, any improvements to it and whatever else. It is like saying that walking into a store you would find it offensive if a price tag was on a packet of chips and you only wanted a can of drink. I would market a lot more and much more visibly if this was my site.
