The 'bully' tag gets thrown around way too easily these days for my liking

[Vanessa]

I just find him revolting.

No, I see no bullying.
Just a very annôying twit winding them all up to get attention, he is simply playing to the gallery knowing it is what the publc want to see.
He has livened the house up, we may not all agree with way he has done it and I thnk he realises he has no chance of winning.

I'm all for having fun, but there are lines you should not cross. Like personal space.

not a bully although some of his actions have a 'bullying' element.........just a grade a

wanker trying to hard to be something he is not............

The problem with this debate is that I don't think everyone totally understands what bullying is, because it isn't something that can be defined in simple terms. In fact there isn't even a legal definition for it in this country so it just comes down to guidelines and personal perception. I've seen on another thread (of which there are far too many regarding Marcs "bullying") someone quote this from wikipedia: "verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets" and then twisting Marcs actions to fit with this (which by the way isn't a definition of bullying but an extract taken from a larger context, which was ignored.)
Another quote from the same wikipedia page states: "Cyber-bullying (using electronic means to harm others)" Under this definition we could argue that Marc himself is being bullied.

The truth is, there isn't one strict definition of bullying which is why this argument will run and run as long as there are people like Marc who don't toe the line. I think though that when you've experienced serious bullying, or seen how damaging it can be to peoples lives, you can recognise that Marc's behaviour isn't really on a par with that. You might think he's vile/rude/innappropriate etc, but that doesn't make him a bully.

No he isn't being a bully,he is winding them up,and bringing out different aspects of their personalities,he has certainly got Jacks ,Jades,Danny's back up,that's what we want,he goes a bit close to the knuckle with some of his remarks but he doesn't do it aggressively,I think he likes Christian,so don't think you need to worry.

He's always commenting on his looks and sitting close to him. I don't like it.

I know , i just don't like him.

[sampvt]

Whether he is a bully or not is an academic and moot point. The judge and jury are BB and so far they say not guilty. Our voices matter not a jot so why spend precious time deciding on something that we cant change. He is a grade A tit but a fantastic HM and he is unearthing things we haven't seen and has scuppered some game plans in the meantime. He wont win but by doing a Perez, he will become popular on the outside world for all the wrong reasons but in the past, these types are loved by the public after they get evicted. Kerching and hats off to a very clever young lad with stars in his eyes.

[LukeB]

No he isn't a bully

If you want to see bullies watch helen and pauline from last year

[Mick]

Hi sampvt I accept what you say but the point is that if we do decide he is a bully and do not like it then we can change it by voting him out when the opportunity presents.

I would be interested in reading your views on whose game plans he has scuppered and what they where.?

[Josy]

There is no bullying going on

[joeysteele]

No, he is incredibly annoying but really entertaining at the same time.
No way a bully and no way is he bullying either,in my view.

[fitz2k2]

For **** sakes hes not a ****ing bully.my gosh every time there new hosuemates that mess with the big brother cast you think there a bully.im so sick of this word.

[Jason.]

I wouldn't say he's a bully.
Just annoying and obnoxious.
