Yeah I hope it doesn't get to a stage where arguments get out of hand and housemates get ejected for things that were said in the heat of the moment, or if comments were misconstrued.

If there are cliques that gang up on a particular housemate then it is right that they get punished, for example if they keep bitching about someone or exclude them from the group. There will always be friendship groups and cliques within the house but they shouldn't gang up on or bully other people.
