Saying another member is utterly obsessed with them (Jedward) - it's certainly not saying anything positive about that member. Housemates are allowed to be criticised, mocked and ridiculed...members aren't.

As long as these type of personal comments continue - of course the fans are going to take it personally - such comments ARE being made to them, about them PERSONALLY.

Fair point, I wasnt aware of those comments until you just brought them to my attention. Trouble is there is a fine line between insulting a housemate and in doing so perhaps insulting their fans, and also when it is a sweeping statement such as "Jedward attract strange fans" or something of the like it is a bit of a grey area as to whether that constitutes a personal insult or not

We have a number of Jedward fans on here, most of whom don't seem to feel offended because it's just Big Brother and not something to really get personal about. But yes when a user explicitly insults another member that is against the rules, as is posting negative comments in fan threads, and I can only suggest reporting the posts when it does happen otherwise they can fly under the radar
