Im not sure if thats worse than them continuing being mean to his face, what would have wanted them to do? Start abusing him because he sat near them?

The more i see the housemates bitching behind his back but nice to his faace the more i like Marco. I hate bullying of any kind.

because you didn't like him at all before this outrageous behaviour :fan:

I did and this kind of behaviour makes me like him more.

To be honest, if someone irritates any of us we are likely to need to vent those feelings. I really don't think anyone could honestly say they've never moaned about someone's behaviour behind their backs at some point, because we all need the opportunity to get things of our chest and it's better that way than letting feelings build up inside until they explode and cause a massive confrontation.

Marco is loud, hyperactive and irritating - sometimes people want a bit of time to chill, and the last thing they need is someone like that bouncing around noisily when they want a bit of time out. Hence, they understandably walk away.

A couple of them also suggested they were uncomfortable with him invading their personal space and being too touchy feely - Marco seems to lack basic social skills and has difficulty reading or recognising the non verbal clues others give off.

To top it all they've seen him being aggressive and heard him threatening to use violence towards a security guard. Put all this together and you have someone that others are going to start feeling wary of as it makes him exhausting and unpredictable.

Expressing their feelings to those they trust is not bullying or ostracising.

I'm not sure if that's even possible :laugh:

He isn't the only one who has behaved aggressively in there. But no question he will be isolated, they always need a scapegoat in there.

:hehe:

As always, this vile relentless bullying has now made me want marco to win.

He's definitely being bullied on this forum that's for sure

Poor Marco

He's the only one who is not bitching constantly in there. :clap1:

:laugh3:

Soz that people don't like him because he's a twat,dick and immature... having an opinion on a hm is bullying now?

Talking about someone behind their backs, hen being nice in their front is just as immature. :nono:

Another example of the relentless bullying that poor Marco is facing on here

We :love: Marco

:clap1:

trolling doesn't suit you

He is rapidly climbing on my all time least favorite list and i haven't seen anything that comes anywhere close to bullying

Ah, he raised his voice to Georgina,horrible man:hee:how very dare he.

What did he raise his for? Nothing. So yes horrible man.

Anything he does is wrong, he can't even open his mouth now :joker:

Now if Marco had called someone a twat,dick and immature,you'de have called him what?

Marco's actually growing on me :shame:

Last night Marco did nothing wrong and yet the housemate still were talking behind his back. Is he even allowed to breathe? :nono:

No, he isn't the only one who has been aggressive, I totally agree, but that wasn't the only thing i mentioned - but be objective and put all of his characteristics together and it is understandable why others are venting and moving away. This isn't about bullying or ostracising, it's about getting a bit of peace and respite for a short time, and there are plenty of other people he could be spending time with.

He needs to take responsibility for his own behaviour and learn to be more socially aware. If people started moaning about me, or wanting space from me, I would actually be taking a good look at myself and trying to address the reason it was happening. Marco doesn't recognise or respect anyone else's needs, and that's the problem here.

depends on why he said it.

he isn't that bad, he's just different. but i think deep down he's a nice kid. very immature, but not nasty. that lot talking behind his back then nice to his front is not acting any better.

He raised his voice as she was shouting at him,I saw the footage,he felt she should have pulled him aside and told him instead of shouting it to the rest of the house,nothing wrong with that ,I don't dislike her,but really she DOES have faults.

But he isn't bothering anyone in there. If they are bothered by him they need to tell him.

Well as long as it wasn't said to princess Georgina he'de be ok :hehe: All those that like Georgina ,hate Marco,I wonder why?:hee:

He only told her not to talk to him like that. I would have done the same, i hate anyone shouting t me.

:clap1:

Not when he's got a ****ing belt around his neck

Of course Marco has no idea they're talking behind his back and keeps being nice about everyone. I don't like this :fist:

:joker:

lolironylol

Firstly, she wasnt shouting. Secondly, why should she pull him to one side when everyone is there and he's acting like a 5 year old? He thought she embarrassed him with the way she gave the message but, as she pointed out he'd have never had a go at one of the lads if they'd have done the same thing.

Disliking someone's behaviour is not hating a person, nor is expressing an opinion on that behaviour.

It is also nothing to do with badmouthing that person because of a liking for someone else. I don't particularly like or dislike Georgina!

I think forum members need to be credited with more intelligence than this - such sweeping judgements suggest that anyone who dares to express an opinion on Marco does not have the ability to step back and be objective. They do.

Some people seem to be defending Marco whatever he does, as if he is some 6 year old child, and are selectively ignoring certain things he does! He is a grown man, and that is actually patronising towards him!

I disagree with your first comment- the exact reason why they are moaning about him and moving away is because he's bothering them!

I think the aggression he has displayed makes people wary of telling him because he is unpredictable, and they are unsure of how he will react.

Discussing our feelings with others, is a way of understanding them before we feel able to express them sometimes. And sometimes we need a bit of time and thinking things through so that when we do tell someone it can be expressed in a tactful and sensitive way. Maybe that's what's happening here?

Sadly its most peoples nature to do this to people...
