I can understand someone liking a villian and being entertained to an extent by their bad behaviour but justifying that behaviour at someone else's expense is something quite different. Gary and Audley both took everything on the chin but that doesn't make what they received right or fair.
I think people accept opposing views better when they dont try to push the opposing as right. So I can kind of see why some people don't get along in opposition.

..I do understand what you're saying Jaxie and it's not that it's not understandable why fans become 'passionate' or can do but that is never necessary to extend to someone else posting an opposing or differing opinion because after all, no matter how much we may disagree or not see anything 'likeable' in that housemate at all etc...we need that balance to the forum and we need those differing opinions otherwise how boring it would become if we all just agreed with each other so personal insults that make people hesitant or reluctant to post etc is never a good thing for anyone and certainly not the forum...,.but I think also, for me when I like a housemate, it often is for the 'finer' qualities they have such as Gary and Audley have...and obviously for many other fans as well..?...that's what we have all praised with our 'chosen ones'..
..throughout....and we have criticised the housemates who have been quite intolerant/insulting and offensive etc to them..?...and there we are behaving in a not too dissimilar way on the forum than the people we have no admiration for..?...hmmmm....just really not great tbh for any of us who want to debate and discuss and give our thoughts to other members who may not agree but are nonetheless what keep the forum and BB interesting and ticking along...balance of views etc...without being open to insults...
..anyway, I have stuff to do so I'll bow out of the thread now...
