And on the other hand you have one person calling another Charlie and taking the mick because he wasn't fast enough on the buzzer and then lied about the whole thing? Incomparible in my view, Deana's been treat far worse than she's giving out. The group, including Luke S, crossed the line a long time ago and I think it's heartening to see her get a bit of justice, show that bullies don't always win, that if you bide your time you'll get an opportunity to even the score just a little bit.

But by acting like them she has become one of them. Why stoop to their own level? It shows she's not a nice person at all.

Sometimes you have to stoop to other people's level to teach them a lesson, treat them as you've been treated so they understand the hurt they've caused. Yes, she could have risen above it all, forgiven and forgotten, but what good would that have done? Would Luke S change if she'd done that, would he have learnt that picking at people can be upsetting. And as I've pointed out a couple of times now, she's doing this on her own, not in a group like Luke S did to her. She's still a few levels above him in the moral stakes.

Sorry, but i disagree. It's just as bad.

You think it's just as bad to be picked on by one person as it is to be picked on by a group of people? If Adam and Luke A had joined in and took the mick out of him at the same time it might be comparable, but Deana Vs Luke S is not comparable to Deana vs Luke s, Connor, Caroline, Ashleigh, Becky and Scott. No way.

I's not the same of course, but i don't like either. I don't believe in revenge.

I do. Sometimes it's the only way. If you've ever been bullied then you'd appreciate how satisfying it can be to get your own back on the bully. There's no such thing as karma, sometimes you have to things into your own hands because nobody will do it for you. And if nobody takes action against bullies then they'll be bullies for ever. It's only when people like that are on the receiving end that they will ever understand how much they hurt people.

Have you never wanted to get revenge on someone for a wrong they've done to you? Do you not think those who do bad things should be punished for them?

Of course, but i'm a very forgiving person. I try to see the best in everyone. I think taking revenge has no purpose. It's better to rise above those who don't like you.

Unless I have missed something, I don't think for a minute that Deana is behaving the way she is to teach Luke S a lesson on how she was treated. If she was doing that she would have said so to Adam and Luke A when they have told her she is going over the top.

Deana has let her mask slip a little IMO and we are starting to see some true colours coming through when she is not feeling she has to measure and control all her actions.

Exactly. She thinks she can do what she wants. Did you see her telling Luke S to eff off? If she had spoken to me like that i would have given her a piece of my mind!

It's revenge for the way she's been treated. Luke S should ask himself why and if he doesn't like it then he should learn from it. No doubt he'll have the same attitude as you though, and put it all down to Deana just being nasty and learn nothing about his own behaviour in there. It's always easier to just blame others and not take respnsibility for our own actions. It's cause and effect though, Luke S' behaviour has caused this. Had he not been such a twonk, along with the rest of the group, then he wouldn't be getting so much stick. If he hadn't lied about pressing the buzzer, he wouldn't be getting called on it.

And even if it's not to teach him a lesson, Deana's still entitled to a little pay back.

You have misunderstood me. I am not condoning the way Deana has been treated in any way, shape or form but I believe this latest behaviour from Deana is just what it is. I do not believe she is exacting revenge for the way she has been treated as she would have told her "soldiers" that.

The subject of Deana on here is always contentious and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, mine being that that her change of late is nothing to do with the way she has been treated in the past otherwise she would have vocalised the point. I have said I dont believe she is a bully and Luke S is the master of his own downfall in many ways.
