I mean certain comments that are said about the housemates are pretty awful either way. I'd say most are within range of "fair enough" but some go OTT. This thread is very "fair enough" I think tbf.
But as for comments on the forum / to his face (well technically not but you know), I'd compare to a real life situation:
Say someone did something a group of people didn't like, or they just didn't like the person in general for reasons. Then they bash him among themselves but with the person in reach where he COULD potentially hear them. If he wanted to he could pay closer attention to them but otherwise he doesn't have to even hear it / most of it. IE: the housemates could check the forums and things like that online if they wanted to and find negative stuff about them. But I'm sure they're prepared for that regardless.
But then say the person goes up to the group and is nice to them and all and the group continues bashing him to his face now about this other thing he did that one day. That's a lot more annoying/disrespectful/etc. That's what I'd say is the difference and why people should treat them decently if they're visiting the site regardless of what they saw from them on the show. At least to give them a chance to see what they're like outside.
