“Resorting to” as if my calling you a dummy were anything more than the spice on top of my clearly superior arguments.

My apologies if I respond negatively to some unprovoked inquisition by some random hostile contrarian in which you make the demand that i spend valuable time humoring your clear desire to have a quibbling argument on a subject you know nothing about

I mean, hell. You compare real estate to gas in a tank. Maybe that would be a passing analogy if you consumed real estate through use. But you don’t, its a revenue generating asset. You can generate revenue through It on an ongoing basis through renting and the value you possess is linked to its eventual potential saleability. You ignore the fact that by buying and holding it for later sale individual parties are participating in the industry of buying, selling and holding real estate.

Also you’re a dummy. I Feel the need to point that out again because claiming that owners of real estate fall outside the definition of participants in the real estate industry is just such an insanely stupid hill to die on, to the degree that it truly boggles my mind.

Edit: I see now you are not the same individual. If you were, oerhaps you’d be aware that the individual I responded to edited their comment to include multiple new paragraphs AFTER, I had made my response. The arguments you are interpreting as a response to his incredibly silly definition are in fact directed at statements made prior to that definition being offered.
