I\'m on?
 

Now as much as I've berated people in the past for making attention-seeking storm-offs :wink:, I'm annoyed, so I'll follow suit :tongue:

I'm leaving TiBB. I can't deal with all the insults about Hope any more.

No matter how many times I've told people "Yay, my friend Emily's in Hope, please don't be nasty" - members still post stuff like "they act like sluts", "they're talentless rejects" etc. etc.

And as for the argument that I shouldn't read it; as a member of this forum, I should be able to read what I want without people insulting friends of mine.

I know it's a difficult situation since she's in the limelight, and people may have negative opinions of her for whatever reason, but I'd have thought, being a regular member, some tact might have been shown.

I was obviously wrong.

Bye. Shame some of you the most hateful people I've ever met, since there's some great people around on here. (Oh, and I will be back, probably after the X Factor :wink:)

awww Shaun your a great member.dont go:bawling:

Bye Shaun!
I think Hope are ok, but I am not really in to the X factor much this year.

You do realise that people are entitled to their opinions?
It's a forum and sometimes people hold extreme views on things. If every TiBB member left everytime someone hated something/someone they liked the mods would have to make a new sub-forum.
Hope have heaps of fans and you're a good poster so I think you should stay and put the haters on ignore.

Don't go Shaun. I'm sure the forum members in question will try to be more understanding.

Well this is a forum where people express their opinion if you can't accept other peoples opinions I think it is best for you to leave.

:sad:

another good member gone

I think you shouldn't go on a forum if you can't respect people's opinion. Bye and with no regrets.

i think everyone is entiteld to their opinion but some people ar taking it a bit too far.if you sat Hope's performance was **** or all of them have awful voice's then fine thats yourr honest opinion.but hope ar sluts or hope ar pigs i wouldent call that an opinion id call it an insult.

Well those sort of comments are out of order.
However the ignore feature would solve that problem :thumbs:

Bye

Such a loss. :sad: Bye Shaun.

I completely agree though. What this place has become is just :bored:.

Thats what i thought aswell. Byeezzz.

Just?

I'm not having a go but what excactly is so :bored: about TiBB?

:bored: << Basically sums it up.

(Not boring, its far from that. :laugh:)

Apparently the hatred is everywhere and we are all bullies towards the new members. That's what I read for months, but I ignore it, this is sad.

Well IMO, TiBB used to be a great place. Not many arguments, only during BB7, which was obviously going to happen. Off-season it was a great community. This year though, it's changed.

Maybe because I've been here a while, seen members come and go, it's changed.

I thought you were going mad Mark :laugh:

TiBB has never been boring! Members that take things way too seriously (I am definetely on that list lol) ensures there are lots of juicy arguments.

This place wouldn't quite be the same without trolls like Pisshead, Amy21 and nodick of course.

I have to agree on that. TIBB has changed a lot but it's not so horrible. It's a great place where we can talk about everything but the arguments and people who can't respect what the others think make it worse.

That's a shame, another good member gone as people have said!

People are perfectly entitled to their opinions on their performances and vocals, but calling Hope sluts is a bit harsh and unnecesaary, and it can't be nice reading such comments if you're a friend of one of them.

I love TiBB at the moment. It's fun talking about TXF and IAC which have a lighter touch to Big Brother.
Hated it during BB8. Too many members and the fact that it was an awful series probably didn't help as well.

LMAO no. :laugh:

Haha, yeah, those people make TiBB. Of course they're banned though.

Yeah Remy. Despite is changing, it's still a great place.

What I meant by sluts is that because they have no talent, the only way they can be safe is to show the only they got (not talent obviously). It's far from an insult.

I'm not a Hope fan at all and I think they are overraated but they're not sluts.

Don't let the door slam on your way out :bigsmile:


No seriously, Emily has put herself in the public eye so she has pretty much signed for people to write bad stuff about her. Because you are a personal friend doesn't mean it will stop. You should just ignore them and move away from that post because for every bad post about someone, there is always a good one. Forums are for expressing opinion whether you will hurt anyone on it so just leave them to it, you have your opinion and let them have theirs.

I know you probably didn't mean it in a bad way, but it's better not to use the word "slut" and say something like "The rely on sex appeal to get votes" which is a more reasonable comment.

I'm sure people use the term loosely and don't mean anything bad by it but it can be offensive.

If people think they are sluts let them, it's not going to affect Hope in any way and if you don't like Hope being called sluts well tough, you can‘t do anything about that. It's not like people are threatening to kill them.

Haven’t people got more important things in their life to worry about.

That's a real shame Shaun. You've made me feel better knowing that you'll be back after TXF though.

Although everyone is entitled to their own opinions, insults of any kind are not pleasant to read. Also, it is a little inconsiderate for Hope to be called names, especially because Emily is your friend. I'm sorry you had to read them... as you are probably aware, people may well think such things - but if you don't want to read it, you shouldn't have to.

As I've said to many people who want a break from TiBB, time does often heal things. I'm sure a little time to cool off would be a good idea, and then you'll be back and can join in the discussion once again.

You'll be missed Shaun but I've no sympathy (:tongue:), Emily has put herself in the limelight and has therefore put herself up for "criticism".

Although comments like "slut" aren't nice and may be not be true, we shouldn't have to tred on eggshells when talking about Hope just because one of the member's is your friend as everyone has a right to their opinion, even if they are really strong opinions. I suppose they should only be judged on their singing but TXF is no longer just a singing competition as proven with the numerous stories about the contestants and Emily has her fair share.

Plus, I've seen you posts comments ("chav" at J) which may be deemed offensive and not true so you can't have it both ways. :wink:

I know what it's like though, I had to read a lot of horrid comments about someone in my family a few months ago but I just got on with it because I didn't really have a leg to stand on as I'm the first to share my opinions on reality tv contestants.

That said, your posts & humour will be missed so make sure you come back.

^^ I said sorry about your occasion :P

Im not sure which one Emily is to be quite honest with you...
The only one I have a negative opinion on is the 16yr old who was taking her GCSE's a year ago.

Flaunting your breasts, wearing lingerie type outfits and stockings whilst singing about sex/spanking etc is a little much for someone who is barely legal. She's practically a kid and whether it's her choice or Simon's, it's still not right in my opinion.

But if you're going to tell people you're friends with someone currently on television, and can't handle any negative opinions of that person, then that's a shame...because I don't think anyone's opinions of people in the media should be put on hold just because a complete stranger knows them.

It'd be quite arrogant to expect people you've never met to hold back their views for you to be fair.

But we've all got to do what we've got to do =] and if you feel leaving for a while will help then that's all that matters.

I have to agree with both of you...

However, you were are valuable member of TiBB Shaun and I hope you come back soon

There's alot of negativity on this thread to a poster who simply objected to the forum members calling his friend a slut. Can all you people who think, she deserves it and he's overreacting, tell me why?

I know, and I said don't worry about it ... your reaction made up for it. :laugh:

Aw no! I'll miss you Shaun, your a great member.

Please come back soon, TiBB won't be the same without you.

And for those who called Hope sluts, shame on you. :laugh:

Nobody called them sluts. I said they didn't miss an occasion to be dressed as because it's the only thing they can show instead of their talent (which they don't have by the way). It's far from an insult.

By Bye Shaun.

Emily put herself in the public eye, it's not as though people went around randomly chosing one of Shaun's friends to call a slut so why should she get special treatment?

And nobody is saying she ''deserves it'' but she doesn't have any "hold" over the FM's because one of her friends is a member.

Also, perhaps if TXF hadn't turned into a way of boring the public with their love lives and other sob stories then the contestants wouldn't get slated so much.

Everyone on here really likes Shaun but to be fair, he has no right to tell people not to share their true opinions on somebody who has put themselves into the limelight whether it be his friend or not.

Yeah. Ta very much guys, I'll miss you too. :rolleyes:
