I know full well that if I were a housemate and returned to see people insulting my family and friends as often happens on here, or indeed if one of my friends or family became a housemate and were having their appearance insulted as also happens, it wouldn't go on for very long, put it that way

It's one of the reasons why I find it so disgusting and unnecessary, and why I wish it would be cracked down on more. Imagine if it were one of your family or friends being insulted so abhorrently

I go with you on all that.

In any event however I do not agree with the insulting of family and friends of housemates anyway.
I do not see them as fair game as the housemates are held to be.
