The thing is, rusticgal, you just come off as super hostile for seemingly no reason, and it seems only when you're challenged is when you change your tune, which is a shame because you would have a valid point and would have actually ignited a mature, healthy conversation if you simply posted something along the lines of, "so he's went for a career change? Good for him. Morgan, do you have a problem with Curtis' career change? If so, why?". But what did your first few posts consist of?





So for no reason you decided to call Morgan 'sad' and a 'stalker'.

Actually, you only changed your tune/mentioned how bad it is for Morgan to nitpick his career change AFTER someone said they wished he had a great career. The cynical part of me wants to believe that you simply changed your tune to have a valid point (since it's odd to me that you do have quite a big problem with Morgan's words - but didn't in your first few posts, instead belittling Morgan for posting news about a celebrity) but I'll take your word for it, that you did feel strongly about it. And I don't think anyone here would have a problem with that if you approached it in a better way without throwing out insults, but here we are. I'm not gonna deny you (and I doubt anyone will) the right to challenge Morgan based on how you saw his comment (I didn't see a problem with it, doesn't mean you can't - keep in mind I asked who is, not "no one is!" and dismissive of your comment when I asked who was putting Curtis down) but you lose all credibility when you insult people straight off the bat (and it wasn't even relevant to your point/problem with Morgan's original post - they were just sly digs that added nothing to a conversation). I'll say it again, it's a common occurrence. Just the other day I saw you call RileyH a dummy for simply asking a question. Why do it?

I've noticed that this is a trend - you backtrack on what you say a bit to turn it so you sound better. If you can't articulate your thoughts properly and find yourself needing to clarify and you aren't doing this consistently for the sake of taking the upper ground, then that's sort of understandable, but in this case you insulted Morgan for no reason. It just comes off as petty tbh, and super unnecessary.
There's also the problem of the fact you had such an issue with him posting news about a celebrity after the show finished. Why didn't you call sleleen a stalker for posting news about Maura's This Morning slot just around an hour ago? http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...=#post10648581

I also fail to understand where your line of "it's okay to say bad things about someone when they're in the villa" versus "it's bad to say bad things about someone when they're out of the villa" blurs. Even if Morgan was being purposely malicious about Curtis in the OP, I would (and I'm sure others) argue that you've said worse about other islanders mere days before his posts. That's where the lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy comes in and that, of course, makes it harder to take any insult you make to Morgan being 'obsessed'... laughable really alol.



By the way, I'm curious - are you saying his career change is a 'failure to achieve'?

I haven’t insulted Morgan...I have just reacted to the nature of his post which was showing enjoyment at the fact Curtis was going onto bigger and better things as ‘a receptionist’... I didn’t like that. It was a put down...it was meant in no other way and you know it. I wasn’t a massive Curtis fan at the end but whoever I liked or disliked became irrelevant after the show as they all added to the enjoyment of it for you and me alike and I wish them all the best in their future off the back of this show.
I did backtrack on my initial post because as I responded to Sle, I can understand people still wanting to discuss LI contestants as it’s hard to suddenly stop talking about a show that we have been discussing for weeks..that’s the only point I backtracked...but I maintained my point of ridicule targeted at Curtis.
When people are in the villa..it’s no different to BB, we pass comment and judge them on their behaviour. Once it’s over, it’s over for me, I simply come on here to read posts and comment.
I’m not a hostile person...but if someone gets hostile with me then I respond. Some posters on here are extremely hostile and unnecessarily vile and personal about people on these reality shows...and it’s unecessary and uncalled for...I hate it.
...as for the ‘patting’ gesture...that’s because I found it really hard to accept that anyone didn’t see the post as anything but a put down...to me it was a desire to refuse to see something that was blatantly obvious in defence of a friend. If I got that wrong then I apologise but as you know on social media things don’t always come across how they are meant.
