Well, leave it to Bob Toll to cast storm clouds over a Bloomberg news article that contains a slightly positive piece of news—the index of pending home sales rose 6.3 percent in April—about the national housing market. “What people are most scared of is looking like a schmuck,” said Toll, who believes the housing slump will last another two to three years, at a conference in New York last week. “What do I want to buy a home for and next year be looking at 10 percent less asset?” Economists, meanwhile, incorrectly predicted that the index of pending home sales would actually fall slightly in April. Either way, no one’s taking the news as a sure sign that housing is on the rebound, or that there’s going to be a substantial dent in the 5 million or so unsold homes on the market, or that the foreclosure rate is going to take a nosedive anytime soon.

  1. You lose since you actually came back to comment to me. and commenting on spelling errors is the first sign that you actually have nothing to say.

    You are so easily manipulated.

    And the vile crap you try to pass off as intelligence is rather laughable.

    – What, the stupid bxgrl

  3. “You are belong in crazytown.”

    Oh hai. You can haz crazy?

    Actually, rabidly foaming at the mouth guest, almost no thought went into my comment at 12:00, because I am bright and well-educated, and not crazy, so I can produce a well-written, correctly punctuated post (with no typos) with little effort.

    Does it make you sad that no one on this site would invite you to their party? That we wouldn’t invite you to sit at our table at lunch? That, yet again, you are outside, left alone, an object of derision?

    You lose. You have been tagged out in our game of blog dodgeball. We hit you hard in the gut, and laughed when you tried not to cry. And also, you got your period in your white shorts and we are all laughing at you. You are just as shameful as you think.

    Now I am averting my eyes from you and your bitter, nasty, seething grotesque pervertedness.

  4. So you losers are still here commenting on me? You are belong in crazytown.

    bxgirl is a piece of ignorant trash.

    BTG is just as obsessed as bxgrl is on commenting about me. YOu are the trash with the wretched life.

    12:00: Way too much thought went into that comment. Are you secretly obsessed with homeless people?

    – What, the stupid bxgrl

  5. Honestly, I get a real “Silence of the Lambs”/”Psycho,” identity confused, sexually violent profile from this new guest. They are kind of like a clearly disturbed person who sits on the subway, smelling rancid, muttering to themselves and occasionally screaming expletives at other riders. I think we should all just avert our eyes. Bxgrl, ignore her/him. Something you said has set him/her off and s/he just can’t let it go. The sooner s/he returns to Crazytown the better.

  6. The guest is a woman!!! Even sadder. What a lonely wretched life she must lead to spew such vitriol over a stupid thread about a subject of which she seems to have little knowledge.

    I pity the poor guy who…..

  7. BTG: Now you know everything? You must be Dave. Another @$$ on this thread. Anyone who defends a loser like bxgrl needs to get their head examined. As for the name calling, bxgrl goes right for it and so do you.

    “The name calling suggests a lower than average IQ and he has probably been called most of those names during adolescence. Additionally, he has a fear of women which has been manifested by his attacks on bxgrl. Most likely impotence problems as well.”

    Well I agree bxgrl has a low IQ.

    So I am a woman who is afraid of women? You are an idiot. Nice attempt at reverse psychology, but you know nothing.

    If you and your loser ilk think you are going to hijack another thread without some serious challenges, guess again.

    – What, a stupid bxgrl

  8. Well Bold type guest, so much for us wondering what would be needed to wake this site up today!

    I leave to do some work today and come back to see this mess, which has gotten nasty even by my standards. I had to scroll back to the top to remember what this story was about.

    Your diagnosis of the jackass seems to be spot on. Clearly you have an advanced understanding of psychology and an acute ability to identify mentally unstable individuals.

    In any event Bold type guest, I love seeing you here no matter which ID you log in under. 🙂

    And bxgrl, keep on posting your thoughtful posts and just be mindful of wasting too much of your time and energy with the trolls, even if it does give you pleasure. I’ve decided to ignore the trolls more than I used to and I’m finding it gives me even more time to kibbitz with friends like you, Bold type guest, etc. and dream about spending hot afternoons drinking Jack and Coke at the Excelsior…

  9. Sorry What or What imposer. I never sign in as a guest. I do have one other login that you have seen here before. I’ll never battle back and forth on the same thread with both logins though.

    Biff may have a good idea who I am but you are way of track What…like with most of your arguements and the logic that backs them up.
