Whereas, the ex-housemates have gone on TV and we know a lot about them (or think we do) so they are more unshielded to personal comments against them. There is an imbalance there.

Consider if someone found out something about you, in real life (like on a social media account), and you had it used against you in a conversation on a forum. You wouldn't like it.

I didn't like that either. Raph wasn't even controversial, as much as I remember that series.

The housemates are all heavily briefed before entering the house that they will be alot of people who don't particularly like them. The title and OP of this thread clearly acknowledges that, it's clear he knew that he wasn't going to get an overwhelmingly positive response by signing up to the forum I don't see how suddenly liking a housemate who ruined the majority of the series for you personally is standard "basic politeness" but go off sis!
