Always the voice of reason. :clap1:

Also wise words. I think there has been name calling on all sides which can escalate with retaliation. I've always tried to state the truth as I've seen it on the show but I do confess to throwing in some insufferable twats and nasty bitch comments about James and Dee. Sometimes it is hard to contain your temper when behaviour is so bad you can barely believe what you are watching then you come to talk about and someone condones what you find abhorrant. I guess people just need an outlet to vent sometimes.

Well said, as we have given so have we received it all depends on who one supports. I love a good debate but sadly at times it isnt possible to debate. We are each entitled to our opinions and as such we ALL give them.

[QUOTE=kirklancaster;7267742]No, you're absolutely right, none of us Gary/Audley supporters (the MAJORITY OF THIS FORUM)have ever let the unpleasant vocal minority put us off the forum - we're still here and still vocal. :wavey:[/QUOTE


Well to all the GARY fans I applaud you and I thank you for your comments, I agree totally with everything which has been said. It could have been so different had they treated him as an equal instead of looking down on him.

He had to put up with their adolescent behaviour, I dont suppose he thought he would be in the middle of that. A middleaged man and woman trying their hardest to keep in with the young instead of realising that they had to grow up. Age comes to all and I fear for them (nah I dont really) as they get older.

With Dee I did wonder you know, Denise won her round but she was horrible to the American in there, she turned the others against him, did Dee think she would win by doing the same thing? I detested Denise from that day on she really showed her true colours, she was another one who couldnt grow up gracefully.

I totally agree with you Chucky that is why I left the forums for most of the last week. I couldn't take downright awful comments about some of the housemates specially Edele. I have never in my life left the forums but this time I had to. I adored the series. One of the best. And many of the posters can argue their point about their favourite or least favourite housemates without resorting to horrible sexual innuendo but alas there are always bad apples in the barrel. Oh well onwards and upwards. I have made bad comments myself but never ever as vile as others have . Peace :wavey:

[QUOTE=Jules2;7267949]Again - True and balanced. :laugh::clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1:

So you knife someone and end a life but it's not as bad as someone else who knife's someone with more force and ends a life?:shrug::shrug::nono::nono:

For me, there were a lot of comments that were way over the top against all of the housemates, and it happened on the main BB too. I think we need to have a constant reminder displayed that its only a tv show, meant for some light entertainment

Some posters do tend to and are bound to get carried away during reality shows when they give their support to contestants, see stuff going on, and can't intervene, so it just can get so frustrating and the producers push the right buttons and probably love our reactions, which is why and I can only speak for myself I tend to cut other posters some slack unless I think they are verging into libel territory and try to repond to their posts in as respectful a manner as I can and even try to ingest some humour into posts if I can whilst also trying to get points across about what I interpret about contestants.

We have every right to scrutinise contestants and what we see as going on in that house, but think we just have to realise some posters do get overly emotionally involved in such shows and do realise that themselves, so I don't give others a hard time I hope. It's like a school tiff in the playground and we are all buddies again the following week :D

WOW!! Succinctly and brilliantly put. :clap1:

Poor you having to be witness to all those naughty nasty comments,
about Big Brother housemates on a Big Brother forum.

You should demand that everybody in the all World should never ever say a negative comment about any other human being ever ever again. We can call it the land off make believe.

You'll get over the trauma in time.

I agree with you and Chucky. I left the forums more than a week ago. More to do with the horrible, nasty comments made to and about other posters. DS was even worse and I have vowed never to return to that site let alone the forums ever again! Peace to you too.

:thumbs::clap1::clap1:

Any BB/CBB forums are all part of the social experiment to me - I agree they can hold loads of unpleasantness sometimes more than you will ever see in the BB house - but it's all part of the same exposure of human nature and response.

Very good post. James is undoubtedly a very unpleasant man, although not so young as he clearly sees himself.

May I ask those who want the Forum to be non descriptive, non opinionated and with no back and forth discussions about housemates faults, only their good points.

As you say, it is easy to slate the housemates behind a computer and also it is just as easy to take the moral high ground too.

I take the line of, if I don't like or agree with someone's opinions, I either give my fourpenneth in reply or ignore the posts from these posters.

I get fed up with those who say they don't like how the Forum is and keep moaning about it, they get on my nerves just as much. Why don't you take it all with a pinch of salt rather than act as if it should be something to look down on, join in if you want to or not as the case may be.

There are acceptable levels on Forums and consequences if they are breached.

These housemates are fully aware of what happens when they go into the BB house, they know that if they take the money there is a price to pay, so I do not feel any sympathy towards them.

The only way the public can have a say in what happens in and after going in the house, is public opinion which means that if housemates behave disgracefully as happened in this series and don't get much censure by BB, then when they come out to public opinion which is against them, it is far better than letting them get away with it.

I say, read what you agree or disagree with and avoid the rest, it is all rough and tumble in the long run and means little. In fact, I once posted on a political forum which was mainly older men and was amazed at the vitriol, sexism and bitterness they posted, I just posted my views and in the end found them repetative and boring and this wasn't a BB forum either.

By the way, I am not 12 years old or a Daily Star reader, but that didn't stop those taking the high ground from insulting me as a poster on here, did it? Think on.

Excellent. All the housemates, except for Audley, Frenchy, and maybe Claire, used the excuse that Gary's faults, most of them due to his disability, gave them the right to yell at him, humiliate him, and slag him off in perpetuity. If that were acceptable, can you imagine what life in a care home would be like? This was a social experiment and most of the HMs failed miserably, but the GBP got it right.

I bet deep down he's glad to get away from them all and I bet his wife will have something to say.
Dee wont change she is nasty all the way through you saw that on BOTT along with James.

The social experiment doesn't end until people stop debating and opining.

I agree that some people get a little bit insulting with name calling....but it's no good having a go at people then insulting them in your last sentance. Pot..kettle..black.

Well said Ultimist.

Well said - Posters who live in glass houses shouldn't chuck eggs. :blush::hehe::wavey:

Fantastic point I get really fed up of people complaining! It happens every series, there is an ignore feature and a report button, and if a particular poster annoys you just don't bother reading their posts, all this I'm afraid to speak out as I will get a barrage of abuse is nonsense, the mods regulate the forums well and deal with any rulebreaking by handing out bans

[QUOTE=kirklancaster;7267547]"This forum has been much more vile than any of the housemates. All I've heard for the last 3 weeks is disgusting comments about the housemates that are disliked." --- The house-mates in question are disliked by the majority for valid reasons - their vile mistreatment and humiliation as a 'pack', of a defenceless, disabled and benign, solitary old man, as well as the abhorrent character traits they all personally shared; hypocrisy, lying and duplicity, to name a few.

They have been vile. This transcended any 'brinkmanship' or mischievous 'game-playing', it is in their nature. It is 'them', and being so, they have elicited anger and disgust in the majority of people who watched the show. Extreme action be-gets extreme reaction. If, I for one, have been vile and caustic in my comments about these turds, I make no apology, and the fact that they continued to conduct themselves in the same malevolent manner after the show had ended, reinforces my belief that I have nothing to apologise for. Where were their apologies to Gary Busey or Audley?

"It's so easy to be vile behind the safety of your anonymity." --- I only wish that I could have been in the house, because I would have stood up to these bullies, helped protect Gary Busey and supported Audley, and - unlike the vile scum you are defending - I would have repeated anything I have had to say about them to their face.

"All I can conclude is that the majority of you are daily star reading 12 year olds.!" --- I've never bought the Daily Star in my life - but I have a strong feeling it's the rag which Dee Kelley and a few of her cronies in the house might favour.

Those who elect to appear on these type of 'Reality' TV shows, do so for fame, fat fees, and other fortunes. By doing so, they become 'fair game' for those whose participation as viewers, ultimately pay for those 'fat fees'. If they choose to be vile and obnoxious during the time they are 'on show' to the viewing public, then they cannot complain when the viewers who are offended by that vile, obnoxious behaviour, become vile or obnoxious in their reactions. THEY are deserving of it, Gary Busey was not.

This post has been written by me by way of answering the points raised in Chuckyeggs post - it is my opinion, right or wrong, and is not meant to cause offence to any other forum member.

Take no notice,I agree with every thing you said,James and fat slag are bullys end of.:clap1::clap1:

Apart from having to read your offensive post, all I want to say is that you are wrong, end of story.
