And If I were a new member who just joined, THAT alone would be enough to drive me away - because it's really hard trying to discuss the show when you've got other members laughing at you and calling the show pathetic and just trolling constantly.

I have not seen this. I have seen certain members going from thread to threa moaning about the series though (even though some claim not to even watch the show) but there is nothing that could, or should be done to people who just do not like the show. If they do resort to insults though, report it. I know how annoying it is to see the same people bleating on about faults 24/7, but they ARE entitled to a negative opinion. I don't quite understand it myself like, if I didnt like a show, I just wouldnt watch it. Not watch it just to find things to moan about, but I guess some people are wired differently to me.
New members are usually driven away because of other FMs insulting them for various reasons, most of all. You forget we do know quite a bit about this because usually if someone leaves(usually people with a couple of posts, not older members who tend to make a fuss on the main boards instead), we get PMs/emails about it and they say things like how unwelcome they were made to feel. I have yet to see a message saying someone has left because there were people on here that dont like BB.
Obviously everyone will like/dislike different housemates and express their opinions on those housemates. But this message was more for the fair few members who seem to ONLY spout hate. They have begun insulting fans of the housmates they dislike, making up silly names for them, and pretty much just hopping from thread to thread spouting venom. Now, I do love a good bitch about someone I dislike, but I know when to drop it, as do most members. No way would I sit for hours just posting the same venom over and over and pretty much coming across as if foaming at the mouth. I would rather spread my time between having a conversation about someone I dislike, and a one about someone I like. Too much negativity is not good (LOL I just realised I sound like heaven now
) I just think sometimes, people need to be reminded to take a deep breath and realise that while the housemates DO put themselves up for criticism the second they enter the house, they ARE still people. And a little restraint is needed at times.
