I joined the LTSA page a year or so ago. Recently, I read a thread about deposits for rental houses, and the discussion turned to where the deposit should be placed. One of the advisers said he would insist on the deposit being paid into Capitec Bank. I commented that as far as I was aware, this is not a legal requirement, the legislation just states that it should be paid into an interest bearing account. Well, this seemed to unhinge this "man", and he unleashed a torrent of abuse on me, being insulting and derogatory. I gather he lost his temper partly because I did not respond immediately, but some of us have a life, and don't spend it on Facebook.
I was actually shocked at such appalling behaviour, and only managed to respond the next day, after I had recovered from his aggressive personal attack. I said I was not his wife, nor his child nor his dog, to speak to me like that, and that his aggressive attack was unprovoked, and uncalled for, and in fact it turns out it WAS his personal opinion and not law at all. The forum supposedly emphasised leaving one's personal opinions out of comments. I said I viewed his remarks as a form of online cyber bullying. However, I saw that not only had he removed his offensive remark, he had blocked me too! The typical hallmark of a cowardly bully, instead of apologising for his outburst - run as soon as you are confronted and your behaviour called out.
I decided just to leave it, until I tried to sign back into the forum the other day. To my surprise I am no longer a member! What does this signify - that the admins of this forum have got something to hide, siding with, aiding and abetting an intolerant bully? Are they condoning and complicit in his unacceptable and disrespectful behaviour? Are they protecting and endorsing it? What greater acknowledgement of this advisers guilt can there be? What it does tell me, is that they have behaved unehtically, and it wont be left here.
The Law Society should be able to say whether this person or any of the admins are practising attorneys - I cannot abide bullying especially when it is tolerated by others.
