It's not the same thing! There's a difference between ruining property, and misuing things. The attack on Karly on Sophie was very quick and had no lasting effects, but throwing the mangle into the pool was silly because it is a neccecity to the housemates for drying their clothes. Where is the logic in that?
He can be a bit over reactive, but he had a point, and Halfwit was getting a bit too sure of himself, believing he do what he felt like because he had others to back him up, but what about the other housemates that not part of this? It affects them too as well, as they found out today. No consideration there,.. even if it is harmless.
I see everybody's point, and they make sense,... but why should someone be labelled wrong or boring just because they are not in the majority?
Is that not what happened to Halfwit for weeks? The majority were against him, and now look what's happened.
Anyway,... seeing from the point of view as a viewer, it did make good viewing.
