No patronising going on

No one is upset

Just people picking apart Chanelle's behaviour on the show tonight

If this thread was at all about constructively picking apart Chanelle's behaviour, it would have begun with something along the lines of "well that comment was unnecessary/gross/completely out of order", not "guess what, Chanelle, you're a slag too!"

Do you think Chanelle behaved with grace, maturity and decorum tonight then?

Or do you think she was acting every bit as nasty as the accusations that she herself was making about others?

I don't think there's anything graceful or mature about calling anyone a whore, no, but you seem to think that the behaviour of Big Brother housemates serves as a kind of moral barometer for viewers, as if you're using the logic of "they did it, so why can't I?"

The primary issue here is Chanelle's behaviour and it's hypocrisy. That's why this thread was started.

But you seem more concerned with a secondary issue, being this thread's reaction to Chanelle, rather than being concerned with the behaviour of Chanelle herself.

Surely that is the point of this forum after all. We are not here opening threads about each other but about the BB housemates.

Yes, I fully understand what Nancy's saying, but thanks for patronising me anyway. My point in return is that rather than to go on the offence in believing that it's fine to call Chanelle a whore, just because Chanelle called someone else one, it'd be a lot easier to take a step back and realise that maybe nobody should be calling anyone a whore in the first place, because it's dated and backwards and kind of completely gross? The fact that this thread even exists suggests that that's not the message that's being taken away here, and if people have no problem with what's actually being said and are more concerned with the one-upmanship of it all, then their priorities aren't in order.

I'm fundamentally disagreeing that this is an issue of hypocrisy because I fundamentally disagree with women being called whores, which the argument that Chanelle's being a hypocrite for calling Rebecca a whore implies. It's not that complex.

But at least we agree it was hypocritical for Chanelle to call Rebecca a *****.

OK so you think it wasn't hypocritical for Chanelle to call other people nasty names then

That's fine by me

I'm too cream crackered to care now

Bon nuit

Originally Posted by MB. (Post 9495467)

I don't think hypocrisy comes into it because I don't believe in calling women whores for being remotely sexually expressive, since the "Chanelle's a hypocrite" argument has a silent "...because she's a whore too" on the end. As I've already said.

Anyway, as you've said four times already, you're off to bed. Night!

Sorry to keep you up. Four times was it? Oh dear me...
