Did you miss me guys? Peter do you still want to feel me?

Jenny, I want to sincerely apologise. I didn't know you would be so offended by my rude insinuation you were a lesbian (or cute).

My bad.

I think we need to bear in mind the difference between comments that aren't aimed at anyone in particular as opposed to direct attacks or comments about others.

For example, someone saying "lesbians turn me on" is very different to some saying "kiss my nuts you dirty lesbian".

I agree that when bickering we shouldn't be insulting each other using terms relating to gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. Not only is it nasty and unnecessary, but it detracts from the aim of the debate which is to discuss property and related economics.

That said, some of Moopleton's insults have me nearly pissing my pants with laughter sometimes.

I say we all chill out and get back to what we do best: arguing about property.

As mentioned earlier in the thread the comment was made by dave who also posts at MB under a variation of that name. Daves_Comment.

He was simply a guy who enjoys being cruel to other people - that's how he gets his kicks. He is sick. I don't know how society deals with people like that when they are on an internet forum posting anonymously. Summary justice isn't possible on the internet.

Jennifer is right to be offended, but so should a number of others who were mentioned.

I don't know the answer, but it's a step in the right direction to consider the issue of offensive and unacceptable behaviour. In the end it's up to each of us to know where the line is.

What a complete crock of BS. Sticks and stones. The moment you upload a photo to the internet and make any publicly available statements then you're fair game.
The only reason there should be moderation is if things get out of control to the point it's the cause of turning people away from the forum itself.

just cos someone has their photo on a public site like twitter doesn't give other people the right to see it. photos of people are private and should be treated privately. i'm quite sure it's illegal to post a photo of anyone without their express permission.
You clearly have no idea at all about how social media works.

Agreed. It's fair to say that just about everyone at APF values freedom of speech. I personally I don't think anything should change.

Little does Jennifer realize, if she chose to comment on that thread she would have had everyone's support.

How do APF members feel, should I censor personal comments made about Jennifer Duke, other property industry members, or public figures?

I think it needs to be made on a case by case basis.

comments on gender, race, sexuality should be removed if requested. everyones level of sensitivity is different.

except if it's moops. i think it should be open day on that guy.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
