It's funny really, someone who didn't make an introduction, whingeing about having to make an introduction, and throughout, nobody requested an introduction. Three posts, all negative and complaining about how this site is run. What makes it even sadder is that "andyandy" wants to try to stir things up but once again, we have a faceless attacker - no name, hotmail address, no details. It's easy to criticise whatever you like when you are anonymous. Who are you exactly, andyandy?

We are not answerable to you, but yet I have tried to rationally explain why we do things the way we do. Three times you expressed your disappointment, three times I have replied to you. It won't happen again. Put your real name in your profile, let us know you have the balls to stand by what you write and you can have your say. If not, I will delete every single one from now on. I have opinions too, and people know my name. I won't discuss things with people that won't.

Finally, you haven't got a clue about me at all. If you came to my office and barked at me that you wanted to buy a 150k villa in Calis, I would tell you to pi$$ off out the door. I will not deal with people who think they can talk to me or my staff any way they want to because they have money to spend. I have refused to show houses to people who thought they could, and I have also driven people straight back to their hotel who thought I wasn't much more than their slave for the day. I am fortunate that I can choose who I deal with, money isn't my God.

And that really was my final word on the subject, "mystery man".

Andy,
You will have realised from the responses so far that your views on that particular forum etiquette are not universally shared. Nevertheless you're still very welcome.

We didn't give an introduction a second thought - it's plain courtesy

SLIGHTLY grey?

You should be embarrassed, coming out with lines like that!

Yes I would and have.


Hi Andrew - I don't mean to be courteous, but my name's John. Can I ask - how many of the groups you have just walked up to and started asking questions of or voiced your opinion to, have made you welcome and how any have not.
