How is it out of touch with reality to want someone punished for criminal threats of rape and punching a woman?

Alexandra got kicked out for threatening housemates and their families with her "gangster friends". Completely different, lol.

Because it was not said with any aggression, it was a joke.. a bad one, fair enough, but he obviously wasn't going to go and punch Deana in the face. The way people are going on you'd think he was stood in the centre of the room screaming at the top of his voice in Deana's face, but no, he was sat saying it to other people and in a stupid voice. Obviously he's a bit of a tit in the first place for saying it, but he was pulled up for it, knows he was wrong, and won't do it again. No need to cause world war 3 over it.

It was said with extreme aggression, and it certainly wasn't a joke. Yes he's a tit, but I don't believe for a second he knows he was wrong, if Deana stays it will undoubtedly happen again.

He's the worst kind of man in my book (and believe me I've dealt with the type).

That was me who said Pull the plug,I was being sarcastic,lol as that's what will happen eventually if people wont let go of this.the only thing over exaggerated is the total over reactions to it,it was a horrible thing Conor did but he wont get away with it so people should chill.

Exactly ,IF Conor had a chance of winning the show(which i doubt he ever had) he has lost it now, but where I think it is unfair is after last night Deana DOES have a chance of winning and that would be so undeserved

If he'd said those things in a club about a woman sitting at the same table, other people at the club would've intervened. Other people are doing what they can in this case, which unfortunately isn't very much. The fact that his angry rant was televised instead of overheard doesn't make it more acceptable, it only restricts the avenues by which it can be handled. The real problem here is that BB did nothing about it to begin with - and a wink and a nudge lecture is not dealing with it. If they had, others wouldn't feel this need to try to intervene, however futile their attempts might be.

Perfectly said, in face the police would probably have been called, or the bouncers would have chucked him out. Damm, where's Chris when we need him?

I thought you didn't like people who acted like they're better than others Chuff? Who are you to decide what constitutes a "real" fan? Anyone who watches and enjoys the show is a fan.

People feel strongly about this and as true fans don't want the show dragged down by disgusting pigs like Conor. You don't get to decide who is and who isn't a fan.
