..anyway, my opinion still stands...posters and members post their opinions and thoughts on housemates who have put themselves up to be 'judged' so that's what we all do and enjoy doing and always have done...I find it very sad personally that I have seen so many interesting members being 'put off' from posting their thoughts on housemates because of personal comments to themselves for doing so...I don't know why this has been allowed or seen to be allowed so frequently, that saddens me as well but as it has, then my opinion is obviously here in the 'minority' as well ....

Great posts Ammi and I totally get what you are saying but I kind of understand why some people find it hard to get along on the forum. It is hard not to get heated if you find a certain behaviour cruel and abhorrant and someone tries to justify it. It can be hard to understand how someone can defend that. 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.
