God forbid we discuss a housemate on a Big Brother forum eh of all places.

Speaking for myself, I don't go out my way to waste time talking about housemates I don't like.
Occasionally yes but not to every little thing they say and do.

Do we need thread after thread on the same thing however.

Good for you?

Perhaps others enjoy using the forum differently. Did I miss the rule change where you can only discuss housemates you like?

Cameron is going to mention his sexuality a million times a day for the duration of the show . He's a hypocrite and had the nerve to moan about other housemates repeating stories.

Stop twisting my words please.
I said I discussed housemates I didn't like but I wouldn't be making endless threads on all they say and do.

The hate against Cameron is possibly bordering on an obsession with his time in the house, there's far less possibly coming from even his most ardent supporters.

However if bringing people down for no fair reason is the thing, go ahead.
It just seems a waste of time and energy to me.

Be as sarcastic as you wish however.

It's pretty clear Cameron has polarised opinion. Those that werent particularly keen on him prior to this story arc find it game playing, those that liked him do not ... or don't care

I'm not bothered really, everything they do in the house is game play so whatever anyone does or says should be viewed in that light whether you support them or not

I just don't like Cameron, and its been a long running dislike since his first few days in the house. The latest story arc doesnt float my boat, I do find it a bit desperate and not entirely consistent, but I'm not going to shout that what he is doing is unfair game playing, because it's not. If voters think that its an arc worthy of making him a winner, so be it, but I would have thought that in 2018 it has less likelihood of being a winning strategy than it would have been in 2000.

Well he was my fave until this contrived coming out thing, dragging it out as much as possible followed by an announcement to the house, when he has already told half the house anyway. Its just making a huge fuss out of nothing, while claiming to not want to make a fuss. Had he not gone down this route, or not pushed it so strongly he would still be my fave by a long shot. But it seems all he talks about now is this. Now thats possibly down to the edit, but of course I can't comment on stuff we DON't see. Shame really.

Also most people use the forum to talk either positively or negatively about housemates they like or dislike. Thats the whole point of a forum. There seems to be a lot of people recently who are coming out with the whole 'you should only speak positively about housemates stuff' and while I agree that it would be a pleasanter place if people DID stick to only commenting on positive stuff...its realistically not going to happen. The whole format of BB is set up to make you be negative more often than positive. Like, the vote is basically vote out the housemate you hate Its not about popularity as such, its about who is most unpopular. Right up until the final. So yeah...unrealistic to expect members to not talk negatively about housemates.

The multiple threads on the same issue thing though, yeah thats annoying. Its hard to know when to merge a thread though as the OPs tend to be different so it sometimes seems wrong to merge it into another thats kind of discussing the same thing but not quite, or is coming from another angle. If we merged all threads that are on the same kind of topic, there would be no threads. Like, if we merged all threads about Lewis' random temper tantrums. Along with all threads about his diary room rants. Merge any positive threads into his fanclub. Then there would be like, 3 threads on Lewis on the whole forum Just using lewis as an example as he was the first that came to my head, but it could go for any housemate really. Merge all threads about camerons 'coming out'. Merge all about his paranoia. Merge all about him moaning. Then merge all where people are randomly cheerleading him into his fanclub. 4 threads on Cameron. Merge all about how pretty Sian is. Merge all about how invisible Sian is. merge all about her random bitchy comments. Merge all positive things into her fanclub. 4 about Sian. And so on.

Nothing you wrote was twisted. You said people who talk about him as non fans are obsessed and should talk about someone they like, as you apparently do.

Stay up on your high horse if it suits but people can discuss any housemate they want, negative or positive so long as they stay within the rules.

Plus at least the OP is actually creating discussions. I see no problem at all.

I think you need to read my post again.
I said I rarely discussed housemates 'I' don't like.

Never said anyone else should or shouldn't.

It does seem obsessive to me that someone who cannot affect another's life, gets so much attention from people who appear to hate them.
Then you only see spouting spiteful comments about them.

I also have no objection in that post to threads being made by those who dislike a housemate doing so.
My question was for such individuals why do they need to make multiple threads on exactly the same issue, especially when other threads are already on the forum.

We get that every series Joey, sometimes it helps the creator to vent their frustration, other times it allows those disagreeing to vent their frustration ..... it all boils down to the same thing really

Isnt it telling when someone completely twists and misunderstands things that are plainly written in black and white...

[the_roo]

so much hatred towards someone you don't even know. What's your problem?
