I am quite recent to this Big Brother forum and I must admit it seems a great place and very well presented, BUT!!!! I can tell you from personal experience, as I am also very much a member of an Oasis forum too - that strong opinions are very much the norm over on there - and I am sure it is the same when you are dealing with something quite controversial and Big Brother is soooooo like that anyway. I can tell you that there are furious arguments over the Gallagher brothers and many just join there to have a go and cause a stir. One member over there is a complete know-it-all about Liam & Noel. He goes to every gig and has met them hundreds of times, but he is very nasty to anyone who says anything out of turn and I mean ANYTHING!! But he contibutes soooooo much towards that forum, we just have to put up with his bad side. I am okay with him and put up a good fight and he knows that, but others fall by the wayside.

I wouldn't expect a problem like this to ever go away. Perhaps certain bullytypes can be advised to reduce the hostility [some what] but before you know it - back it comes again, probably from a new face or someone you normally wouldn't expect it from. I agree that the [ignore feature] is a good thing, but I am curious to read all the posts, so I can't do that, but for those that can do, then do it to those members who upset you. It can help and does help!!
