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 in any way controversial, as much as I remember that series.

Are you seriously comparing discussing/criticising/praising a housemate based on their behaviour on a television show they voluntarily entered is in anyway comparable to being ripped to shreds about a PRIVATE life that someone has intruded into unnecessarily?

On what planet are they even in the same universe?

You say this without a hint of irony... as the admin... of a Big Brother discussion forum.... for how many years?
